From The Deli:

Silverlake’s Alex & Sam are one of LA’s latest outfits that can only be described as "clever comfort music." Down-tempo though absolutely never dull, this duo (backed by an ensemble not limited to bass, drums, accordion, organ, Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes, and harp) have influences ranging from string-heavy Nick Drake ("Starting Something New") to the likes of Rosie Thomas and sophomore-album Norah Jones ("See You Through") spewing out its creative pores. Though unique in its throwback appeal, their sound isn’t so familiar and doesn’t contain a single trace of new-folk condescension.
Alex & Sam’s writing personality gives the indie scene a well-deserved beating by paying tribute to simplicity with substance, and without the irony that is often associated to unplugged groups. Trading off lead vocals though never forgetting to plug in those lush harmonies, Alex Silverman and Samantha Sidley are a duo of massive musicality; and while it’s likely that their Berklee School of Music chops could blow anyone away, it seems that their aim is in refining the art of restraint in a pop-melodic avenue. Mission beyond accomplished.
Pure, unfiltered, and a poster group in the definition of true talent, Alex & Sam are one of the matchless gems that this town has luck in claiming its own. Feeling left out? Catch "Sounds Like This: Part One," their latest EP available on iTunes now.
