notes
Well, we think we've seen it all. We believe that we have heard every chord and every melody, a thousand times already. And then, yes then comes Amber Smith, saying "Hello Sun" and hardly more than two minutes later giving away her heart: at the moment, to a band, Amber Smith.
What is it about? Of glorious days and stormy times, great connections and incomprehensible misunderstandings. Everything - however everything with passion, reciting future visions from the mastermind Imre Poniklo, a classical charismatic and firebrand where however sometimes the melancholy triumphs, who likes to sing about and quote from Ray Bradbury. He and his three band cronies come from Hungary and belong there to the torch bearers of the whole pop movement. Understandably, their fascinating, wave guitar pop since the 2003 debut of "My little servant" belongs in the premier league, and it's now time for the pop world to perk their ears and also the ways in this country to finally open up, because these songs belong in the wider music world.
And with their second album Reprint, also drunk with melody, with heady and longing sounds, the nostalgia is so heavily depicted, probably attributable to the musical forecaster Robin Guthrie originator of the legendary Cocteau Twins, because he sat at the mixer and enriched Reprint with one or another guitar. But we avoid the superlatives and write simply that Amber Smith is one of the most remarkable phenomena of the pop music of recent years. The British New Wave spirit is recreated with dedication by a kaleidoscope of wave guitars and presents nevertheless a new sound. We are in the middle of the time journey, genius antics with ever increasing intervals.
