My Music Episode 205 - Amethysts

Working with acclaimed producer Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Ghostpoet, Daughter) and labels including RAMP Recordings (James Blake Jamie XX) and Manimal Vinyl (War Paint, Bat For Lashes), Dream Pop duo Amethysts use airy synthesizers, biting guitars and deep electronic bass to build emotional soundscapes underneath Clarice & Simon’s delicate vocal harmonies. Renowned for their uniquely crafted brand of atmospheric indie-electronica-come-alt-pop, the pair have built a glittering catalog of tracks showcased across their recently released self-titled debut album. Having gained features in the likes of Clash, 1883 Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, The Telegraph, Earmilk, Atwood Magazine and PopMatters, Amethysts have racked up over 1.5 million plays on Apple Music, hundreds of thousands of plays on Spotify and gained radio play across the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, Amazing Radio, Kerrang Radio and BBC Introducing. No strangers to the festival circuit, the duo have also played sets at Latitude Festival, Secret Garden Party and BBC Introducing Live as well as opening for Anna Meredith, Bessie Turner and Nothing But Thieves among others.
