Ammonite - Blueprints (2024)

Ammonite is the new project from songwriter-producer Amy Spencer. Her debut mini-album Blueprints explores two opposing sound worlds, the voice and technology. Where layers of improvised vocals meet electronic processing and flow like a glorious, glitchy, blue river.

Though a proficient singer-songwriter and a guest vocalist for Bicep (penning two tracks on their debut album), TVAM, DC Gore and Motsa, like many women in music, she experienced ‘imposter syndrome’ within male-dominated environments and preferred to leave others to produce. But with Ammonite, Spencer decided to try something new – by creating fragments of self-reflective lyrics, drones of humming vowels and broken repetitive words, she constructed this 7-track debut sonic manifesto, with her voice at the forefront.

Throughout Blueprints, Spencer showcases vulnerability and strength. Her music is close up and intimate, yet distant and reflective, like it’s from another time, floating in the atmosphere between space and earth. It's both organic and man-made. Neither right nor wrong; human or machine; masculine or feminine.
