GROUNDBREAKING
ALTERNATIVE ARTIST SAM AUSTINS UNVEILS “MATADOR”
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR SUPPORTING DORA JAR
BEGINS NOVEMBER 3 IN ATLANTA, GA
“Sam Austins is a
boundary-breaker, challenging long-held ideas of what it means to be an
alternative artist.”
– BILLBOARD
Alt-pop singer-songwriter/model/artist Sam
Austins has shared his triumphant new single, “Matador.” Produced by Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, David
Byrne, Hot Chip), “Matador” marks the first single off Austins’ forthcoming new
project, dropping next year, and a follow up to his 2021 debut mixtape, HOMELESS STAR. Simultaneously uplifting and melancholy, the
track exemplifies the Detroit-born, Los Angeles-based artist’s paradoxical
ability to create ethereal indie pop with a razor-sharp edge, a groundbreaking
musical approach tattooed by a creative bravado that lures with a red cape but
conceals a devastating sword.
“As an artist, I'm drawn to exploring the duality of masculinity and femininity,” says Austins. “I was obsessed with the imagery and metaphor of love as a bullfight. It's a seductive choreography and misdirection. I approached it as someone who has been vulnerable in the arena; deceived and strung along by someone with a fatal purpose.”
Austins – who spent his summer stealing the show
at such festivals as Chicago, IL’s Lollapalooza and Gonzalez, TX’s Float Fest –
will celebrate “Matador” with a wide ranging North American tour supporting
Dora Jar, getting underway November 3 at Atlanta, GA’s Vinyl and then traveling
through a November 30 finale at West Hollywood, CA’s historic Troubadour. A
number of dates – including shows in Boston and New York City – are already
sold out; for complete details and remaining ticket availability, please

Sam Austins is quickly rising to the forefront of contemporary art pop with his revolutionary fusion of energies, merging 90s alternative and R&B melodies with the aspirational aesthetics of high fashion and authentic tales of his Detroit youth. A series of increasingly acclaimed releases and performances saw the preternaturally gifted musician and in-demand model earning early acclaim and accolades from such outlets as VOGUE, HYPEBEAST, Pigeons & Planes, and many more.
Austins joined Atlantic Records’ legendary roster in 2021 and quickly unveiled his label debut mixtape, HOMELESS STAR, highlighted by such genre-defying singles as “KILOS,” “MIND ON DRUGS,” “DRIFTING AWAY,” and “JOY FOR YOUTH (with Sir Chloe),” all available now for streaming and download. The 10-track collection was greeted by critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, which raved, “Austins carries his struggles proudly, channeling his experiences as inspiration for the creative direction and lyrical content of HOMELESS STAR…The avant-garde storyteller paints a picture of Detroit in the summer…he hones in on eclectic influences that manage to achieve synchronicity…part Blood Orange, part Tame Impala, yet entirely Austins.”
