<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">After months of blog love and radio play from the likes of KCRW and KEXP, Amason are heading to
<b>New York City</b> for <b>CMJ in October (21<sup>st</sup> – 25<sup>th</sup>)</b> and will be performing LIVE on
<b>John Richard’s KEXP Morning Show</b> from the Cutting Room in Manhattan on <b>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Described by many as a “Swedish Supergroup”, Amason are the collective talents of
<b>Petter Winnberg (Little Majorette)</b> and <b>Pontus Winnberg (Miike Snow),</b>
<b>Gustav Ejstes </b>(<b>Dungen</b>), <b>Nils Törnqvist (Little Majorette) </b>and<b> Amanda Bergman
</b>(<b>Hajen, Idiot Wind</b>). The first song to hit the Swedish airwaves, “<b>Margins</b>,” was soon followed by a self-entitled EP released in August 2013 on Stockholm-based
<b>INGRID</b>, complete with single “<b>Went to War</b>.” In February 2014, <b>Amason</b> released “<b>Ålen</b>” (The Eel).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Having arrived in a collective sonic space, Amason all hopped aboard a vehicle, with their past paths and divergent musical tastes thrown into the mix. A sound created out of collaboration, with
each member inhabiting an equally important space. These simpatico souls share the creative ground as Scandinavians share their land. With lyrics in both their native Swedish and the Swedish musical language of choice, English,
<b>Amason</b> create in the moment, record almost instantaneously, and soon after scan the horizons for a stage, where the music truly comes alive, where they can share their collected collective moments.
