Amber Arcades | The swirling, steely songs on Amber Arcades’ dazzling debut are the work of Annelotte De Graaf, a woman inspired by “time, continuity, coincidence and magic”, as well as early-morning jetlag and an artist’s plans for a utopian city. That may all sound pretty dreamy, and these songs do have wonderful ethereal qualities, but De Graaf’s dreams are not the whimsical kind. De Graaf’s dreams have led to her working as a legal aide on UN war crime tribunals, to inviting skint strangers to share her Utrecht squat, and to spending her life savings on a flight to New York because that’s where she wanted to record her first album.

Best homegrown indiebands: Moss & Amber Arcades!Moss | Moss is an indie band based in the Netherlands. Their own blend of rhythmic indie rock with vocal harmonies and a psychedelic side-note took an unexpected departure from their earlier sweet and enduring pop-songs. Up to date, they released three records on the Excelsior label and their songs have been featured on numerous compilations. In February 2017 Moss comes back with a new album ‘Strike’.
