Thanks for putting The Amazing back on my radar! They landed in my top 20 AOTY in 2015 with Picture You and then I somehow completely lost track of them. Listening to the album now and it’s sublime!
I’m also very interested in learning more about MusicHarbor as that sounds right up my alley! I’ve downloaded it and will play around with it tomorrow.
You'll love MusicHarbor. Even with all of the social media follows and cruising the usual new release sites it always drops something that I didn't know was happening.
Oh, wow, missed this, too - forgot to follow them on Spotify, apparently. For me, their best album was Picture You, which I loved enough to include in my 100 Best Albums of the 2010s: https://anearful.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-2010s-anearfuls-first-decade.html Psyched to listen to this!! Dandelioness is great, too...featured a song by her on my podcast and would love to see her live.
Thanks for putting this in front of me. Listening as I type. I missed out on The Amazing the first time around. Sometimes you're just late to the party. Which makes me sad, because the Red House Painters vibe is real and I'm adding songs to my Liked List!
This post makes me giddily happy. I had forgotten about The Amazing, but the joy I once felt after first hearing Ambulance came flooding back reading your post. The Amazing, indeed, I believed, were amazing. So thrilled to hear that they are still around and have a new album! I don’t think I would have compared their earlier albums to Red House Painters but now I need to relisten with a new ear. Maybe it’s just the new one that conjures RHP?
It’s wild how many bands we listen to these days that a few years off can make you forget about one that you liked so much cos we had the same experience! And yes, I wouldn’t compare their earlier albums to RHP but this new one is undeniably in that wheelhouse.

Yes! Hope you enjoy the new one as much as I am!

Yes to the Dandelioness love! I believe she's touring in April so I hope she makes it your way.

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear. I can't recommend coming back to Ambulance and In Transit enough. Thanks for reading!
