By ‘Haze’: the emotional vocoded return for Nottingham four-piece Amber Run.
Succeeding a month of teasers and enigmas across all social medias, Amber Run released the video for their new single ‘Haze’ on 7th April 2016. The video was paired with the announcement of, now former member, Felix Archer leaving the band due to personal reasons and the start of a new era for the band as a whole.
This new era appears to be a similar switch to that of the one The 1975 recently made for the production of their sophomore album ‘I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It’.
The new single, ‘Haze’, features a much more heavily atmospheric vibe in comparison to their previous work; this paired with stunning visuals makes for an impeccable music video. The track is precisely 2:00 in length so perhaps a continuation of ‘Haze’ is yet to come.
The band states that ‘Haze is about seeing the world through a veil of distrust and sadness. An apology for feeling that whatever you do, you’ll inevitably end up failing; that whoever you love will inevitably end up leaving, and that in whichever direction you walk, you’ll inevitably end up at the same place. It’s a plea for someone or something to come along and get you back on your feet.’
In its entirety, ‘Haze’ brings a new stance to Amber Run’s sound, nonetheless, it is still transparently an Amber Run track which provides promising vast expectations for their sophomore release.
