Their discography includes albums such as "The Amazing" and "Ambulance," which have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. The Amazing's talent shines through in their heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, making them a must-listen for any music lover.

With a style reminiscent of Midlake and Woods, The Amazing has carved out their own niche in the music scene. Their songs are filled with lush instrumentation and intricate arrangements that showcase their musical prowess. Drawing inspiration from artists like Cass McCombs and Vetiver, they create an atmospheric sound that transports listeners to another world.

Whether you're a fan of Shearwater or The Clientele, Wye Oak or Israel Nash, Steve Gunn or Strand of Oaks, Martin Courtney or The Sea and Cake - you're sure to find something to love in The Amazing's music. Their ability to blend genres seamlessly sets them apart from other artists in the industry.

'Ambulance' sees The Amazing continue their journey to a place where music is free of restrictions. Despite reflecting Chris Gunrup's often bleak worldview, the music is expansive and beautiful, marked by playing that's as much free jazz as rock - pure music without any showiness. The songs unfold slowly, without a traditional verse / chorus structure, spinning gauzy webs of shimmering mystery with their own inimitable dynamic of sinuous, swirling guitars; rich, ambient basslines; crisp percussion and restrained, church-like, keyboard textures. The stately tempos suggest a room full of shadows desperately reaching out for intimacy but never quite making the connection. The songs brim over with tension and more implied release than actual relief. Gunrup is known for his reluctance to talk about his process and prefers to let the music speak for itself and if 2015's 'Picture You' was brighter, exploding outward to explore the limits of experience, 'Ambulance' is much more intimate. The mix denser and darker, the instruments pressing closer, crowding each other, imploding inward to reconnoitre the uncharted distances that exist between us, even in life's most intimate moments. Sharing members with Sweden's psych forefathers Dungen, the album delves into the hidden recesses of the heart, finding inner space to be just as expansive as the midnight sky. It was recorded in just a few days in one tiny room at Stockhom's Buller and Bang studio. LP - With Download.
