Debut album
'The Ache of Being'

Available to listen to/buy on all major streaming platforms 

‘The Ache of Being’ follows our 2019 EP, ‘The Ever Present Elephant’ and continues to tackle similar themes, from global issues to those closer to home.

We have taken the opportunity to try new things, explore different sound textures and to find the right instrumentation for each piece, exploring harmonies and rhythms. 

We hope The Amber List sound, high on melodies and harmonies against a backdrop of driving guitars and rhythms, shines through on this new collection of songs. We hope it still sounds like us?

The creative process was a truly 'local' one.

All credit to John Kettle @TMP studios for his advice, ability to tease out the detail and clarity from our varied sound palette and his ability to tell us 'no'. 

We would like to say many thanks to Matt at Yeager studios for his support and skills in the initial recording of the album.
