Both born in early March (Pisces), our birthstone is Amethyst. We love Gin, Faux Fur and have a fetish for old synthesisers. You'll find us in our studio playing drums on a Roland 505 whilst jamming along with an Omnichord, a Pocket Piano and some guitar loops.
Electronic Dream Pop duo Amethysts are renowned for expertly crafting their unique brand of music. Working with esteemed producer Shuta Shinoda (Daughter, Ghostpoet), the East Anglians use their soothing synths and biting guitars to create an intense, atmospheric experience.

With features in the likes of Clash, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, The Telegraph, Earmilk, Atwood Magazine and PopMatters the pair have built a reputation for themselves as ones to watch.
