CD
Aging Youth (2007) SG
The 5-track EP (inclusive of 2 hidden tracks) is a showcase of the Documentary In Amber’s growth over the past 3 years since its inception. Painstakingly recorded at the band’s home studios, the EP features the band’s trademark soaring majestic musical passages.
The band features its brand of epic space rock operas with a keenly honed sense of dramatics and melody. The EP also features a collaboration with Bani Haykal of B-Quartet for a spoken word piece.
Inspired by the cinematic arrangements of momentary life, the 4-piece instrumental act strikes a balance between the chaotic and beautiful. With the impetus on the music and not the message, ambient guitar lines and driving crescendos are utilized, contrasting and dynamically interwoven between walls of sound. Since its birth in 2004, Documentary In Amber has seen many line-up changes before settling into its current definitive line-up. The quartet draws inspiration from many sources such as classic rock acts like Led Zeppelin and post-rock acts like Explosions In The Sky.
Documentary In Amber are: Daniel Lim – guitar, Daniel Tan – drums, Iliyas Ong – bass, Lek Dakai – guitar
