Praise For ABBEY LANE
“Versatile vocals and airtight instrumentals highlight catchy writing on this one, so great” 4 / 5 (Luka Muller, Triple J) [About ‘State Of Mind’]
“Abbey’s voice is like honey on this track!! Love how it suddenly leaps from an intimate feel to big cathartic energy. Great stuff!” 4 / 5 (Jordan Barr, Triple J) [About ‘Constellations’]
“It is an emotive and upbeat track which encompasses all the feels of a relationship that didn’t quite pan out as desired.” (AU Review) [About ‘State Of Mind’]
“With a stunning voice, plus the versatility to pull off seemingly any genre with complete authenticity, Abbey Lane creates music that is exciting, addictive and kind of just grabs you by the heart and won’t let go.” (Women in Pop)
“Abbey’s ability to vocally mimic synth lines is a strength usually reserved for already established pop artists who are backed with large label support. Yet, here we are with a younger independent artist, throwing down the gauntlet with a cleverly-structured dance-pop number that is both catchy and edgy.” (The Point Music News)
“Abbey Lane is equally modern and nostalgic, captivating audiences with an engaging, vibrant Urban Outfitters-indie sound” (Get Some Magazine)

Packing edge and desire in a dreamy and nostalgic package, Abbey Lane’s EP ‘Afterthoughts’ is out now. This short and sweet 6-track EP flows together in an irresistible, smooth dose of indie pop-rock.
‘Afterthoughts’, as the title suggests, takes the time to reflect on relationships and the things left unsaid in a musical journey that balances nostalgic rock guitar edge and a daze of indie vocals. With expert guitar and Abbey’s versatile vocals that are both powerful and dreamy, each song feels faintly familiar and entirely captivating.
The Sydney-based artist has 12 years of experience guiding her, as well as collaborations with writers such as Sycco, Yung Bleu and Tenille Arts, and her experience shines through in the way the songs are written to flow into each other. Speaking on the EP, Abbey Lane states: “Afterthoughts is an amalgam of perspectives on relationships, with all songs circling the theme of things that didn’t get to be said and also reflecting on a relationship in hindsight.”

Starting off the album, ‘My Mistake (Again)’ is a dream, with summery guitar and warm, bold drums. Abbey Lane’s vocals through this track are sweet and tender but packed full of vocal power as she explores how it feels easy to go back to an old relationship, even if it’s not good.
The daydream guitar tones flow into ‘Shot in the Dark’, which carries on the soft indie charm with a catchy pop beat. With a bouncy backing track and sad, tender vocals, this song navigates what it’s like to give a relationship a shot even when a relationship feels doomed from the start. It’s followed by ‘Constellations’, which uses wistful guitar, romantic and tender lyrics, and a bold amp edge to tell the story of saying goodbye to someone you’re still in love with.
‘Darling’ is a softer side, with gentle acoustic guitar and subtle heartbeat drums. It’s pure and loving, and explores the fears and joys of falling in love. Then, picking up on this trend of acoustic guitar is ‘Stuck in this Moment’, which starts off with slow acoustic guitar and electronic drums and tender vocals that develops into a fast-paced and impassioned song reflecting on the good parts of a relationship and yearning for good times.

The final song on the album, ‘State of Mind’, is an addictive dose of indie rock with an iconic, nostalgic feel to it. With emotion-packed vocals and intense bursts of guitar and drums, this song takes you through the journey of going from lovers to barely acquaintances.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
