Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"The Amber Light" is an album from English singer, songwriter and guitarist Jane Weaver, released 30 March 2015 through Finders Keepers.
Released just six months after the experimental songwriter's critically acclaimed fourth long-player, The Silver Globe, the ten-track "mini album" features four new songs that invoke the best moments of Silver Globe's shimmering, psych-tinged Krautrock/synth pop, three collaborative remixes from the album, and a trio of evocative instrumental themes, one of which is a commissioned theme from an American vampire film.
User Album Review
Like many albums that assemble alternate takes and outtakes, these releases tend to have most of the best material at the beginning, relegating the less interesting material toward the end. The Amber Light is no exception. The good news is that the stronger material on the first half of the album is worthwhile – particularly the new songs “I Need A Connection” and “You Are Dissolved.” These two songs feature the kind of straight-ahead electronica pop that worked so well on its sister album, complete with irresistible melody lines.
Into the second half, some of the songs have this sparse, subdued, but haunting beauty to them, like “Cascade In The Dark” and “The Parade Of Blood Red Sorrows.” Their appeal is subtler, but they reward the listener with each repeated playing. The album closes with the excerpt “Neotantrik Globes,” bookending the two albums with a track as diaphanous as the title track opener on The Silver Globe. --- dailyvault.com
