about

Amelia Doll began to sing and curate sounds as a young child, moving through a turbulent and often chaotic early upbringing, and writing their first songs long before they were a teenager.

"I've been making up songs since I could speak," - Amelia began playing ukulele at 8 and then guitar at 10. Channeling early influences such as Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor, as well as an early penchant for beatboxing (to the great dismay of the surrounding elders), music became a gateway for transmuting pain into something cathartic and soothing.

On their debut EP “Revolution”, Amelia draws musically on those early influences, and inspiration from icons like Ani Difranco, and contemporary artist Anya Marina. Amelia's remarkable artistic development since their young start is evident.

Working with producer Tim Robinson (AKA I'ma Tim Robinson), who recorded and helped flesh out the arrangement (adding bass & percussion before mixing), and music veterans David Andler and Martin Guderle to help fully recognize Amelia’s songcraft, the end result achieved is palpable. Its mix of intensity and passion manages to find musical commonality with the likes of The Cranberries, while drawing vocal comparisons with Natalie Merchant.

Perhaps most remarkable in this debut is that Amelia's songs set out to curate a space of recognition within a wide spectrum of experience, which gives way to Consciousness itself. There is a compelling narrative thread here...the story is more or less a continuation of what she started singing about as a young child.

In the culmination of the title track, Amelia sings "together, we hold the keys to the Gateway and that starts with a revolution...Consciousness seeks to know itself, it’ll do that which way it likes.” When asked to explain, Amelia answers "the key to the Gateway...is to witness the the vulnerability of our collective as a whole".

Each of us has a piece in this large, vast network of experience. if you listen to Revolution, I'm pretty sure you'll understand what it means.
