Ambergrove’s 'I Love You As A Bright Horizon' is less an album and more an unfolding story, woven together by countless voices, carried across continents, and wrapped in emotion. Born from a collaborative ethos and shaped by years of transnational creativity, this debut offering is a sonic passport, inviting listeners into a world where genre is fluid and the human connection takes centre stage.
The project itself is elusive in the best way. There’s no frontman or fixed lineup to fixate on - just a collective intention to create something bigger than the sum of its parts. Core members may live along California’s central and southern coastlines, but their reach spans far beyond. From the ethereal tones of k-pop artist RUSHA to the soulful resonance of West African singer Andereya Baguma, from Australian children’s choirs to indie rock veterans like AJ Perdomo and Chris O’Connor, 'I Love You As A Bright Horizon' feels like a record made by the world, for the world.
The result? A collection of tracks that feel universal yet deeply personal, like overhearing a stranger’s beautiful daydream. It glides from shimmer-soaked pop to indie-folk warmth, brushes against ambient textures, and dips into soul, rock, and global rhythms - each song a different angle of the same sunlit sky.
What makes this record stand out isn’t just its rich sonic diversity, but its emotional depth. There’s vulnerability here. There’s joy. There’s the quiet ache of distance and the radiant hope of connection. Songs feel lived-in, layered, textured - not just in sound, but in spirit. They carry the fingerprints of every artist who touched them, yet still feel singular in voice.
Ambergrove call it "Indie World Music", but even that feels like a soft suggestion. The beauty of this album is that it refuses to settle, just as it refuses to be pinned down. It was built slowly, over three years, like a carefully constructed memory collage - each layer added with intention, each track an echo of a shared dream.
And now, with 2025 dedicated to bringing this dream to more people - through shows, new visuals, and perhaps a few secret surprises - 'I Love You As A Bright Horizon' feels like the beginning of something timeless. It’s not just music to listen to - it’s music to live with.
