Sam Welch has been putting out an album every year for years now. With a background in a capella music, his records have a ton of vocal layering and are influenced by the tools at his disposal, like his Korg workstation that shaped a lot of the songs on his previous album, Girl on Vacation. This time, he's back to talk about his new album, Last Night on Earth, which explores social existentialism.
