The Amblers release their new single Shallow Pools today. This song sees the band taking a different path from their usual riff driven sound. Instead, favouring the acoustic folk elements that have always been a huge influence on their song-writing.
“As The Amblers, we aren’t ever too keen to say too much concerning what our songs are about and what they mean. We want people to decide that for themselves. Having said this, what I will say about Shallow Pools is this. Life is tough. For everyone, in some way. We can do terrible things to ourselves and one another in the pursuit of avoiding difficulty and discomfort. Yet it’s the toughness of living that gives us colour and adventure, makes relationships valuable and meaningful and offers a sense of purpose. Shallow Pools is a memoir of sorts. It’s rough in places, and authentic in others. We wanted it to sound and feel like a real life conversation.” Justin Swart, Vocals/Guitar
Shallow Pools available now on all digital platforms.
The Amblers are a folksy, Blues Rock duo hailing from the vibrant and diverse music industry in South Africa. The two have a broad range of both local and international musical influences from Southern Gypsy Queen and The Black Cat Bones, to The Rolling Stones and Jack White. Their approach to music is raw but not unpolished, lending an authentic energy to huge drums and dirty, vintage guitar tones.
Acclaimed drummer Jason Hinch provides an accomplished and powerful framework for Justin Swart to deliver his raconteurish ideas of music and lyrics to the listener. The duo have recently released their first body of work together, a collection of hard hitting songs titled “The Dustling Man” and are currently in studio working on a new album.
