SamWilkes - ‘I Know I’m Not Wrong’ single cover. Record label and title in a circle is the iris of an eye formed by two curved white lines against a light beige background.
'LA-based jazz bassist returns to the laidback indie rock mode of his 2023 album Driving for this lo-fi Fleetwood Mac cover on Psychic Hotline’s singles clubs.'
#SamWilkes - ‘I Know I’m Not Wrong’ is a Quietus Track of the Month for August 2025

The mood: Is it Understanding? Acceptance? Gratitude?
I like the title, because it does feel like crossing a threshold...

Heard via #KEXP #PrometheusBrown
Something about this piece of music it really pulled me in. It's very easy to listen to, but I find it very thoughtful and... deep?
I am trying to sort out the mood... whatever the mood, I like it because I like how this song makes me feel.

From an Aug 2021 New Yorker piece on Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes: "The track, “BOA,” was taken from an odd little album by Sam Gendel and Sam Wilkes, which has been steadily finding listeners since its release, in 2018. The album is called “Music for Saxofone & Bass Guitar,” and it has a cover that looks, accurately, like the result of a quick session on Microsoft Word. The sound is echoey, sometimes chattery, reflecting the circumstances of the album’s production: the seven tracks are excerpts from a series of ad-hoc performances at two Los Angeles restaurants, one in Laurel Canyon and one on Sunset Boulevard, in Silver Lake. There is a long and proud history of fake live albums, like James Brown’s volcanic “Sex Machine,” from 1970, which was partly recorded in a studio, with applause dubbed in later. “Music for Saxofone & Bass Guitar” is in some ways the inverse of “Sex Machine”: it sounds like a breezy studio album but was actually recorded live, with all the applause edited out. What remains is a bit like the “beat tapes” that hip-hop producers sometimes make—a carefully compiled collection of excellent grooves. One track begins with the hum of conversation and someone saying, shruggingly, “We could do that.” The musicians are playing “Greetings to Idris,” by Pharoah Sanders, who loved to start with a warm melody and push outward, overblowing his saxophone to create an openhearted sort of chaos. Gendel and Wilkes’s version is softer and more unassuming than the original, because the duo’s music tends to be spacey, in both senses: emptied out, and slightly dazed. Instead of building toward a climax, they use pedals to loop their favorite sounds, and to supply moving clouds of reverb, which accompany them on their journeys."
