Hildy Fine Such a delight to receive this hand-wrapped tape in the mail. Drinking coffee and eating toast to the soothing soundtrack. Vocals are sublime and the instrumentation spacey with moments of hedonic rock-out Favorite track: Moana Lisa.

about

Brisbane-based duo Amaringo release their debut album, I Woke Up This Morning After a Dream, out via Melbourne label Healthy Tapes (Stella Donnelly, Rainbow Chan, Dianas).

The project of drummer/vocalist Allie Wu Lin and guitarist/bassist Christian Driscoll, Amaringo create expansive and woozy atmospheres with tinges of psych that never stray too far away from their ambitious and beautiful songwriting.

Fragmented between writing and recording half of the album in a recording studio, then a year later completing the rest in a more improvised fashion, the resulting record is a startlingly consistent and accomplished piece of work. From the acoustic strums of the 70’s-inspired I Woke Up, to the major-minor drones of Saguaro, and the 7-and-a-half minute monumental Her Way, the album has no shortage of timeless moments sure to appeal to fans of La Luz and Sharon Van Etten.

Amaringo’s debut LP I Woke Up This Morning After a Dream is out October 30th digitally and on limited cassette via Healthy Tapes and features the singles Sacred and Her Way.

Their self-titled EP induces an immediate churning in the belly, beautifully psychedelic yet charging riffs meshed with heaving drum beats and devious thick vocals. Amaringo

This woman is an inspiration. Her deep beautiful vocal melodies matched with insightful lyrical content are almost ceremonial. There is an ancient wisdom in this music with a contemporary flare. Amaringo

An endless skyline of dusky golden light over Moreton Bay that's where this record lives. I always admire when bands can work imagery of their city into songs. This is especially nice when it comes to the areas in and around Meanjin, a place we hear far too little of. Demetry Malahoff
