Out today: AMBLARE

The self-titled debut album by Amblare is out today on Melodic Virtue. Recorded by Matt Talbott (Hum) and mixed and mastered by Mario Quintero (Spotlights), the album is recommended highly for fans of the spacey, soaring, soulful edges of post-hardcore. It is the final recording of powerhouse drummer Bryan St. Pere (Hum).

"Before Hum drummer Bryan St. Pere passed away in 2021, he finished up work on the debut album by a new band he formed alongside Matt McGuyer (also currently of Mock Orange) and Alex Wallwork called Amblare. The album was produced by Hum’s Matt Talbott and mastered by Spotlights’ Mario Quintero, and its existence remained under wraps until now. It’s sludgy, melodic, and spacey – not unlike Hum – and it’s a treat to get the opportunity to hear what are Bryan’s final recordings."

“Amblare, the self-titled album from the band of the same name, contains the final recordings of Hum drummer Bryan St. Pere… Amblare operate in a similar territory of heavy, fuzzed-out rock that borders on shoegaze, building a moody atmosphere.”
–Decibel

"Masterpiece of radiant, emotive rock."
–Idioteq

“Through their eight-song debut, Amblare deliver moments of mega-distorted, Hum-like grooving; meter-vaulting, clean-channel moodiness; and overwhelming, incandescent gloom.”
–Northern Transmissions

"Balances between heavy, post-hardcore and emotive, contemplative tones."
–Scene Point Blank

"The new self-titled LP coming out from Amblare... It's incredible."
–Songwriting Malpractice

"Simultaneously triumphant and tragic, the Indiana post-hardcore power trio's darkly potent debut also serves as an unintended epitaph for Hum drummer Bryan St. Pere."

–Tinnitist

"Matt McGuyer is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter... If you're at all a fan of Hum (or Chavez for that matter) I encourage you to get into Amblare."
