“Sammy,” out August 8th, is a bittersweet track about the emotional limbo of a situationship, where you want closeness but hold back. It blends soft electric piano, breathy vocals, and heartbreaking lyrics with gritty Mk.gee guitars and raw Dijon-style background vocals. It’s a personal and introspective look at modern romance for anyone who’s felt caught between wanting more and settling for less.

The music video uses gardening as a metaphor for a love that never fully blooms — planting seeds that fail to grow, replaced by store-bought flowers. The video captures the tragic humor of trying too hard for someone who won’t meet you halfway.

Sarah Krohn is a Chicago-based indie pop-rock musician whose songs blend catchy melodies with confessional lyrics about identity, longing, and social awkwardness. She is a creative octopus involved in every step of her process—whether it’s producing in her bedroom, directing friends on camera angles, or performing on stage.

Influenced by artists like Pinegrove, The 1975, and Holly Humberstone, her live shows are a place for both headbanging and self-reflection. She’s shared stages with Barrie, Olive Klug, and the Jamie McLean Band, creating a live show experience that’s as introspective as it is electrifying.
