Being different is not necessarily a quality in itself. Nonetheless, it is refreshing with bands that dare to take the road less traveled by, step off the path, and push the boundaries, which is exactly what Amber does best.
One Minute Love Affair is the second Album from the Danish trio, who has once again teamed up with an International top Producer. While their debut album was recorded with Indie guru Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Mogwai), it is this time John Parish (PJ. Harvey, Goldfrapp og Eels) who tailored his producer magic to the unique sounds of Amber. One Minute Love Affair builds on the foundation laid on the highly critically acclaimed debut from 2004, but at the same time explores new sides of Ambers minimalist soundscape.
With Parish behind the mixer, Ambers songs gain a new edge, while still maintaining the intimacy that has become the bands trademark, within a full, vibrating and yet simple universe. Remaining true to the original outset, Amber playfully incorporates elements of alternative disco and funk into their already unusual take on Alternative Rock. The result is shorter yet more quirky songs still featuring Ambers characteristic instrumentation (Bass, Vibraphone, Drums and Vocals).
One Minute Love Affair also features a guest appearance by Scottish singer Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap. The result is a killer duet on the title track between him and Amber vocalist, Biljana Stojkoska
