Incantation of Voices

Song reviewed by:
SongBlog

A composite of voices, echoing out as if they has been piling up in your mind. Amber Run plays on the tendency by playing with rhythms and incantations in their song-writing. Even down to the background instrumental progression. A simple finger snap after a singular word has been spoken, a single snap symbolizes an eerie factor. Perhaps in the way how silence can be protrayed to become the loudest sentiment in a song. 'I Found' indefinitely possess the quality of haunting or mystical.

Amber Run took apart the idea of 'I Found' in their music video for the track. Taking an issue like kidnapping to actually conceal another possible outcome or truth. In the 'I Found' music video, a young woman is kidnapped and taken by two men. One of the new acts as the head of the pair, where the other comes to the realization of how these actions are clearly not in the right. In doing so, the young man does what he can to show his best attempt at sympathy. At one point the climax of the music video is the very end, where the young man and woman run away from the accused mastermind of the kidnapping. It takes guts and good instinct to create a music video capable of pulling off such a realistic event.

Amber Run position themselves on a pedestal of well mixed verses, drum loops and weaving the exact amount of feeling needed to puncture a tear or two. Somehow a helpless essence can be felt, as if they are speaking from the view point of a victim as well as the accused. All in all Amber Run plainly deliver a hauntingly eerie song, full of possible hope even in the darkest of situations. Maybe this itself is a symbolism that no matter the circumstances there is always another way out.
