The Amber Bugs
YOU FOUND US! WE'RE THE AMBER BUGS!
Do you ever get that thing where someone asks you a deeply personal question like, "so... what do you do?" and you're supposed to answer with your job title or some other pithy one-liner that does little to describe the rich tapestry of what makes you, you?
We get that, you're a complex three-dimensional human being who can't be defined so quickly and you're all the more interesting for it.
We're a bit like that too..Is emo-indie-swing-ska-punk a genre? if it is then I guess we're that.. sometimes, except when we don't feel like it and want to do Jazz or Beat Poetry or something.
BRAND NEW DOUBLE EP - OUT NOW
SKETCHES / SCULPTURES
Our most ambitous project to date, Sketches / Sculptures is a 10 track double EP that showcases the two sides of The Amber Bugs.
SKETCHES: is our Raw side.
Recording live, the way our heroes did, isn’t the done thing anymore. And for good reason, it only works if the band is firing on all cylinders. But when it works… Mwah… it’s a thing of beauty.
SCULPTURES: As approaches to recording goes this is the exact opposite to Sketches. We're an independent band with no financial backing but we don't liet that stop us from dreaming big. This side of the double EP features friends and collaborators amassing in a full orchestra, a choir, synths and more. It's a huge production, not many independants pull something like this off.
But underneath the exciting production of the two EPs there's 10 songs. Some of the most heartfelt, honest, angry yet optimistic things that we have to say. We hope you love them
