John K. Samson
Provincial (Epitaph Records)
release date: 1/24/12
by Mike Delano
John K. Samson sings a somber tune on “When I Write My Master’s Thesis,” but it’s hard not to pump your first for the Weakerthans’ frontman and his wistful optimism as he smashes his hard drive and yearns for the days of “no more citing sources.”
