Samuel picked up a guitar after traveling the world, and poetry courted melody as he honed the sound of his stories. The past years have been spent writing and recording songs with his wife as part of the indie folk pop duo The Woodlands (www.thewoodlands.bandcamp.com). Their songs have been featured in feature films, documentaries, tv shows, commercials and prominent press.
All the while, however, the songs of Quiet Arrows were being forged, awaiting the right time to be unfurled. And now that time has arrived with the release of the debut album Continents Were Made To Sink, which soars gently and pierces deeply.
