Amandine - Solace In Sore Hands

Amandine’s sophomore album, featuring eleven new bitter-sweet songs, purveying a more extensive sonic palette. Amandine’s influences take in Songs: Ohia, The Band, early REM, and Crosby Stills Nash & Young, to name a few, and their music appeals to fans of alternative country / Americana and indie.  ‘Solace In Sore Hands’ is broad in scope, highlighting a leaning towards folk music and minimalist, heart rending composers such as Erik Satie. Now augmented by violinist Kristina Lundin, the songs on the album cut loose more freely and bear rougher edges than those of its predecessor, ‘This Is Where Our Hearts Collide’. ‘Solace In Sore Hands’ displays a further refined take on Amandine’s already poignant lyrical content, covering themes of forgiveness, redemption, and moving on in the wake of hardship, inspired by the harsh, slightly absurd imagery of Swedish contemporary authors.
