ABOUT THE TRIO:
amilost are three friends with a deep musical pedigree and knack for writing songs that turn raw emotion into things of beauty. A Norwegian–British trio now based in London, diverse influences collide in their music: vocalist and producer Sigrid Zeiner–Gundersen was classically trained in Oslo, raised on Grieg and Mozart, but at fifteen she sang in a Scandinavian metal band. Drummer and co-producer Ross Craib, born in Glasgow, cut his teeth in hard rock bands but found himself at home in the subtler settings of alt-pop. Charlie Fowler, on bass, was entrenched in pop-rock and the surf scene of his native Cornwall.
Together they make something unique: female-fronted alt-pop that is both wide-screen and powerfully intimate. Theirs is the kind of music that brings a crowd together on one giant swell of emotion yet allows every listener a personal experience. Songs build from whispered confessions to shimmering post-rock climaxes not seen since Sigur Ros. This is Scandinavian pop with an epic grandeur.
