Amber Run‘s second album For a Moment, I Was Lost is one of rehabilitation.
The result of a band emerging from professional turmoil after being dropped by their label in January 2015, as Henry Wyeth puts it, ‘everyone you meet wants to ask you what it’s like to be in a band’, they expect that whole groupies, partying story’. “They don’t realise that you’re quite often sitting on a sofa, in your tracksuit bottoms, cold, alone, looking at the floor,” he continues.
This underlying theme is there on a new documentary posted by the band as their UK tour continues tonight in Southampton. “This album is such an unbelievable release of adrenaline and energy,” Joe Keogh adds.
“And I still totally believe we’ll get to where we wanna be – selling loads of records, headlining festivals. The same ambition’s still there. But we understand the work that has to go into that. And we have a means of doing that, now.”
