Artist Information

Biography

The Amber Estate is a unique rock band focused on creative sounds and expressive songwriting.

"Dense with vocal harmonies and intricate-yet-accessible hooks, The Amber Estate creates genuinely fresh rock songs, so fresh it’s hard to hear exactly where they might be coming from."-Nick Meyer, Volume One Magazine

The Amber Estate independently released their debut album in 2004. The self-titled record is in rotation at over 300 radio stations nation-wide
and has charted on various stations including DMX radio.

“The first few seconds of each song hook the listener for the entirety; each track kept me wondering what was next until the album was finished." --Grace D’Amore, Shepherd Express

The band has recently enjoyed showcasing performances at North By North East in Toronto and at the Millenium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA.

The Amber Estate is currently writing and recording material for their second release.

  Golden tones, crisp beats and melodic blends abound to create the pop-rock sound of the Amber Estate...Golden tones, crisp beats and melodic blends abound to create the pop-rock sound of the Amber Estate’s self-titled album. Surprising chord progressions give the band’s music an original quality, although I caught hints of Radiohead in the mix of electronics and lyrical content and tones of the Police in the high-streaming harmonies.
  
  The first few seconds of each song hook the listener for the entirety: each track kept me wondering what was next until the album was finished. The only thing to rearrange about the album is the song order: tracks such as “Farm Scene,” “Deelicious” and “You, As Well,” played locally on WMSE, Lazer 103 and Rock 102.1, are followed by a block of slower, often more interesting tunes. Whether you prefer unbroken or radio-tested territory, it’s hard not to marvel at the consistent appeal of the album’s 10 songs.
  
  My advice: Find a cozy room, sink into an overstuffed chair and enjoy every whimsical vibration. For added effect, get lost in the raindrop patterns on your window on a gray day. The Amber Estate has created a space of freedom for listeners to think, write, converse, sing along and just enjoy. -- Grace D’Amore

  Their unique choices of instrumentation, including a bass/guitar hybrid, a series of keys and synths, and even some subtle lap steel along with driving jazz-influenced drums, create a sound as full and textured as you could ever expect from a trio.
  
  Dense with vocal harmonies and intricate-yet-accessible hooks, the Amber Estate creates genuinely fresh rock songs, so fresh it’s hard to hear exactly where they might be coming from. Take any really great pop tune and tilt it to the left just a touch, that’s the sound of the Amber Estate. – Nick Meyer, editor

The group graduated from less serious teenage bands to this one, which celebrates the release of its self titled debut on Saturday. A solid, well-produced alt-rock album, The Amber Estate stands a good chance of finding an enthusiastic audience.
