Following this year’s earlier track release ‘Talking To Strangers’, Amethysts unveil their New Moon EP. Opening with the ethereal soundscape of ‘Bloodline’, the duo showcases their evolution over the past two years. Clarice Lucas-Hughes’s vocals, ranging from delicate whispers to soaring heights, add emotional depth to the atmospheric sounds created by intricate guitar layers and moody electronics courtesy of her husband and musical partner Simon’s artistry.
Produced by Alex Gordon, whose credits include iconic bands like The Cure and Bat For Lashes, the EP is a testament to Amethysts’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of their sound. The tracks seamlessly blend shoegaze-influenced guitar riffs, analogue synths, and warm bass, creating a unique fusion of electronic, indie, and dreampop elements. Each song captures the essence of their stylistic live performances, creating an immersive sonic experience.
With a thematic exploration of transition and self-discovery, the EP marks a significant chapter in Amethysts’ musical journey. Renowned for their atmospheric sound and critical acclaim, the duo continues to captivate audiences with their ability to craft emotive soundscapes that transcend genres. The New Moon EP not only reaffirms Amethysts’ place in the musical landscape but also propels them forward as innovators in the realm of indie electronic music.
