Amber and The Moon - Howling

She did it again! Newcomer band Amber & The Moon touches the fine nerve cells of my auditory canals with their new single Howling (popup-records).

It's the first single from their upcoming debut album. Amber & The Moon was founded as a solo project. Now singer and guitarist Ronja has got reinforcements. On electric guitar and bass Jonathan supports with harmonies and backing vocals from now on as a permanent part of the band. Amber & The Moon stays true to their style. Recorded in the stormy salt air of the North Sea, this sound pearl is of a somber beauty. As in the first single El Dorado, the music lives from Ronja's clear and melancholic vocals. The quiet intensity immerses you in a dark and fragile atmosphere. It becomes intimate and slightly mysterious.

Howling is about a recurring dream world where you fight a haunting battle with your ego.

"For me, the song embodies the ghostly presence of a recurring dream that makes me sink into a trance-like rigidity. This feeling mirrors the confrontation and inner struggle of one's demons, which ultimately need to be embraced and accepted as part of our selves in order to remove their numbing effects." Ronja

This time going in two voices throughout, this sound pearl has more 'drive' than its predecessor. Following the motto 'All in', a full sea of sound has been built up, giving this heavy yet spherical atmosphere a worthy depth. At the same time, we do not sink. The way up is free. Floating is the magic word, after all we are in a dream. Melancholic, gloomy and dreamy, but laced with hope.

And like a wolf howling at the moon, we howl out our despair and longing.
