Veteran newcomer Sam Bisbee may be best known for producing and arranging the Cat Power version of Blondie’s “Hanging On the Telephone” for that Cingular commercial, but it's his incredibly personal stories set to music that will keep you coming back for more. Son of a Math Teacher, his first release for Le Grand Magistery, features guest appearances by Leona Naess, Lucie Wainwright Roche, Mike Viola and Liz Tormes, and was co-produced with Britt Myers (Essex Green, Robbers On High Street, Sam Champion) and Bo Boddie. Two songs from the album have already been seen on the FX show “Damages” starring Glenn Close. “Clever lyrics, crisp guitar-rock instrumentation, and subtle, yet insinuating hooks.” - Billboard Magazine “Our favorite new New York City singer-songwriter” - Paper Magazine “Sam Bisbee's lyrics are insightful, poetic and humorous when read on their own. Stylistically chartering a meeting point between new wave, hip-hop and pop/rock, this is one of the better and more original surprises you are likely to come across this year.” – Harp Magazine “Literate but not pretentious, emotional but never cloying, inevitable but never predictable, Bisbee's songs don't wilt in the spotlight, but flourish.” – Boston Herald
