The Blackout is the new single from Leeds-based indie-folk artist Sam Airey, produced by Whiskas (Forward Russia/DTTR) and released on 18th July 2011. The single (along with B-side Endless Sea) will be available digitally, along with a super-limited run of 50 hand-stamped and packaged numbered CDs.
