Rain Over St. Ambrose are an indie folk influenced, alternative rock band from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Broken Love bounces
off their second long-player Waking Up (Jun’15).
The song is
a “...gruff, atmospheric rock tune” and their album
“...reverberates
with anthemic sing-alongs, swampy fuzzed-out riff rock, and swirling synths.”
Their influences
are The Constantines, Kings of Leon and Winter Sleep.
Rain Over St
Ambrose Broken Love
(May’15) comes on like a happyier Kings of Leon hit and that’s all you
need to know. Earnest, gravelly vocals are propelled by a finger-snappy beat,
backed up with a contrasting of angelic female vocals, and punctuated by a rock
guitar led all in. The gist of the tune is hope amongst hardship and it comes
on like melodic heroin. Take an orgasm and mutiple it one thousand times and you're still not close, Broken Love is
one of the best indie songs of 2015.
“...the songs don’t make no sense no
more
I hope you believe in a broken love”
The band
have been compared to
The Hold Steady, Gaslight Anthem and British Sea Power.
The new album has been big-upped
as “...enormous in
tone and uninhibited in its approach. Raw, contemplative, and feverish...”
The album was mixed byTony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle and
Sebastien) and mastered by Greg Calbi (War on Drugs, St. Vincent, Paul Simon).
