Sam Macdonald’s debut solo single, “Distant Light,” released in September 2025, weaves wiry guitars and soulful melodies into a pop framework that feels both familiar and intriguingly offbeat. The track, born from Macdonald’s complete creative control, pulses with a vibrant, immediate energy, yet carries a warped, unconventional edge that sets it apart from his earlier band work. Its accompanying music video mirrors this spirit—hazy, restless, and charged with a sense of constant motion. Together, the song and visuals evoke a restless search for change and escape, capturing a journey toward something just beyond reach, crafted entirely on Macdonald’s own terms.
