Amber & the Moon writes songs of somber beauty. Fragile and intimate textured acoustic arrangements create a mysterious and haunting atmosphere. While her lyrics hint at melancholy and vulnerability, any sentiment of wistful poignancy is alleviated by singer Ronja’s delicate and emotive voice. In this way, Amber & the Moon’s moody indie-folk music recalls musical elements and colors of artists such as Daughter, Laura Marling and Kings of Convenience. Amber & the Moon began as the solo project of singer/guitarist Ronja until she met guitarist/singer Jonathan, who joined the band along with drummer Torben to complete the lineup. The band collaborated with producer Ben Schadow (Rhonda) to record their album "Things We've Got In Common" (2023). They deliberately isolated themselves from the outside world and opted for unique settings, including an old cabin by the tempestuous North Sea, a cozy attic apartment along the Atlantic coast of Portugal, and Studio Nord in Bremen, to capture the essence of their songs. The debut album’s crafted storytelling and skilfully woven, harmonic arrangements earned it the title "Album Of The Week" from the WDR 5. After the release of the critically acclaimed record "Things We've Got In Common", Amber & the Moon went on tour, opening for acts like Stornoway, Tommy Lefroy, bôa and Fionn Regan throughout Germany. "It is already foreseeable that Amber & the Moon will find her place among the greats of melancholic songwriting" (bedroomdisco).
