Unxigned
"Girl for Samson meld psychedelia and reflection in captivating fifth album Blend All the Seasons. A mesmerizing fusion of contemplative textures and alt-rock, the band's latest effort rewards deep listening."
I Don't Hear A Single
"...this is a wonderful album to listen to. Beautifully arranged and produced, it is an enthralling listen that deserves a much wider audience. Blend For All Seasons is an album that you just don't want to end."

"American band Girl for Samson unveils two standout tracks, You Better Run and Cigarette, showcasing their ability to blend retro influences with a contemporary edge. Known for their thoughtful, unpredictable music, the band continues to craft songs that feel timeless yet fresh, drawing on 60s rock and 90s indie inspirations.
B-Side Guys
After twenty-five years of crafting meticulously spaced albums, Girl for Samson has reimagined their creative process on their latest release, "Soon." The track emerges from their fifth full-length "Blend all the Seasons," marking a decisive shift from their traditional songwriting approach to one built on collaborative improvisation."
Fresh on the Net
"Psychedelic-indie trio Girl for Samson may hail from Kansas City, but press play on Cigarette and its funky bass, baggy-beat percussion, and Inspiral Carpets organ accents will fire you straight through a wormhole to 90s Manchester or Liverpool."
Boulimique de Musique
"The American band delivers a funk-infused rock song on a track as atmospheric as it is gently catchy. The male vocals, packed with attitude, deliver a fearsomely catchy chorus and colorful lyrics. The slightly psychedelic ambience amplifies the exploratory touch of this track full of twists and turns."

SOUNDSGOODWEBZINE (translated) "Cigarette", is a track whose fluid and dynamic setting manages to keep the listening amalgamated, giving a full-bodied song with an intense metric. A song also characterized by a series of details that make the single decisive and at the same time deep. A sound dominated by catchy and energetic riffs, classics of the good old Alternative Rock.

"We love the track, it has very well executed guitar chords and great vocal arrangements, whether lead or backing, in a mesmerizing way that leaves us involved from start to finish."
Cosmonauta Radio (Mexico)
"Few artists, concepts and/or musical groups transcend the passage of time, so that their work generates a common thread, which is perpetuated from Album to Album, or from single to published single and that this allows them to continue growing artistically and creatively without breaking the streak and delivering radiant music as happens with the North American group Girl for Samson , which with a long career of 24 years, does not stop building great albums, presenting us with their new song You Better Run."
