In line with Jung Jae‘s Spotify profile: “I’m an individual who makes varied sorts of music on my own.” Then hearken to Amber Lake and be amazed. It’s each a ahead and nostalgic 11-song full size, At a little bit over 32 minutes, June Jae makes a big effect.
The album is entrenched in rock however provides extra items from various, shoegaze, and dreamwave. It’s like listening to an ever-changing tide with every monitor connected to an hour of the day. “The Lake” is daybreak with the solar developing and giving the world mild from an extended darkness. It’s methodical and purposeful on every beat.
“A Horse in Turin” is the power after waking up when mindsets shift and the day begins shifting. The usage of post-punk and synth within the rock basis is nice. I like “Drifter” so much. Primarily as a result of it’s an ideal shoegaze tune. Observe 4 provides a little bit little bit of a break.
Jung Jae is nice at switching between energies with quicker and slower tempo songs, offering a stronger narrative. It feels just like the tune order is deliberate. Just like the swap between “Winter-blooming orange blossom” and its slower and moody emotional presentation to “Northeasternly” and the indie rock and pop punk combine is ideal.
With solo artists who create all the things from begin to end, it’s attainable that issues turn out to be very repetitive or concepts are recycled. On Amber Lake, there aren’t any of those points. The composition and association all really feel prefer it’s coming from a full band, however extra importantly, there’s all kinds of linked concepts talking collectively.
Amber Lake is a good album. It’s simple to hearken to and exhibits Jung Jae’s craftsmanship. With a large canvas of kinds, he excels at all of them.
