This song is a repost, but it's a slightly better-mastered version than the version I had up before and besides that, it's well worth revisiting -- especially today on the autumn solstice. Anyhow, I'm way too busy today to rip a different track from my LP, not that it's even worth doing when you consider that digital copies are surely floating around somewhere. So! Like I said, this is perfect music for transitioning from summer to fall. The mood of the music is pure sepia and even the lyrics reflect the time of year, though the feeling would be the same no matter what they were singing about. It's my album pick for the season, to be sure. If you dig on mellow psych sounds, it might do the same for you too, despite your feelings on the members other projects (Dungen, Granada, The Guild). The Amazing has 'em beat.

In addition to the news posted yesterday about The Amazing's upcoming vinyl release via Subliminal Sounds, I have been informed that the label will also be handling a worldwide CD and digital release of the album as well later this fall. Exact dates and tour info tba.
Subliminal Sounds will be releasing the vinyl edition of The Amazing's self-titled debut. As mentioned before, the band features members Dungen, Granada and The Guild and was originally released on CD via Fashionpolice.

Here's some good-time summer vibes for you courtesy of The Amazing, a new-ish Swedish act featuring members from Dungen, Granada and The Guild. It's all about that lazy acoustic strum, that languid melody line in the two lead guitars (best appreciated with headphones) and the soft, understated vocals. So mellow, so sweet, perfectly paired with a cold beverage and a few bites of ripe summer fruit (your pick). I imagine these dudes probably even look as retro as they sound, but I'm not sweating it. I'd rather just lay back in the shade of the elm in my backyard, forget my troubles and turn up the music. Keep an eye on these guys, there's an album on the way soon.
