Ambergrove shares brand new single “stills”

Going beyond the traditional definition of a band, Ambergrove is a collective, a creative movement and an ever-expanding project that places artistic expression above individual identity. With the main songwriters based between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles, this international group of musicians is dedicated to creating musical moments that reach across time and borders.

Rejecting the constraints of genre, they collaborate with artists from across the globe, bringing together influences from all musical backgrounds to create something entirely unique. The project first arrived in 2020 with the debut single “Intro: Choice (Rejoice),” a track that introduced listeners to their expansive sonic vision and since then, Ambergrove has earned a reputation for its highly original sound, working with an array of different artists, including Greta Ruth, Abe Yellen, Alex Bone, Lando Graey and Dre Ishmail.

Now, Ambergrove is set for the release of their highly anticipated debut album, I Love You As A Bright Horizon, an ambitious project that ventures into musical spheres few have dared to explore. The album stretches across a vast musical spectrum, blending pop, indie folk, jazz, alternative, hip hop, R&B, country, metal, K-pop and West African pop, ultimately forming what they describe as Indie World Music.

While much of the album was captured at Cabin In The Woods Audio in San Luis Obispo with audio engineer Nolan Perry, it also features contributions from musicians across the world. Bringing us their first taste of the record, they share the LP’s lead single titled “stills,” a track that serves as a hitchhiker’s guide to accepting life’s contradictions and understanding things for what they are, what they’re not and the delicate balance of two truths coexisting at once.

Brought in by the lively patter of drums, warm guitar rhythms usher in the rich vocal leads as the track glides into a delicate indie pop scene full of blissful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. Flowing with alluring strings, the arrangement swells with zapping synth dashes and infectious vocal hooks in the chorus, resulting in an upbeat and energising listening experience.

Cut with stunning lead strings which dance above the rolling drums, the finale delivers a burst of energy before floating back down with tumbling notes and slowing pace. At once accessible and original, “stills” presents a memorable jam that filters Ambergrove’s forward thinking songwriting through a pop-focused lens. With their debut full-length record on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be the most exciting year yet for this worthwhile musical collective who continue to impress with each move.
