AMULETS - MYRIADS (NEW ALBUM)

I'm releasing a new album, my first one in 4 years! It’s been a labor of love and has had lots of ups and downs trying to get it out into the world. The title really says it all. Please check it out and consider pre-ordering it if you’re into it 🙏♥️🎉

From the label Beacon Sound:

On "Not Around But Through", Portland-based experimental musician and tape wizard Amulets navigates the process of acceptance and the tumultuous journey of looking within. Over the course of 8 tracks he explores the emotional path of moving through rather than circumventing, in the process soundtracking a purposeful desire to face trauma and vulnerability.

Infusing his trademark ambient soundscapes with ambitious blends of post-hardcore, emo, and metal, "Not Around But Through" connects the dots between personal and social dislocation, leaving us with a taste of the fragmented and fallen future we are all steeling ourselves for. Traversing a landscape that varies from gentle and meandering to explosive and cathartic, Amulets uses cinematic tension and relentless attention to detail to construct his sonic apparitions. On "Lifelike" he collaborates with Midwife, incorporating Madeline Johnston's voice into a song that pulsates with post-shoegaze transcendent energy.
