"With its lush melodies and sultry vocals, “tiger balm” feels like a tropical escapade; it beautifully creates a tender soundscape, leading the listener through an intense sensory experience. Harding’s own multicultural upbringing is reflected in the music, with a blend of folk, latin and indie elements that make for a sophisticated, almost erotic sound." - Melodic Magazine - Melodic Magazine
"Until Daylight" builds off of an animated guitar riff that’s surrounded by rich auxiliary percussion elements. Harding and his backing band work in several ear-wormy features that help make the foundational vocal melody thrive including gorgeous three-part harmonies, a toe-tapping groove, and bouncy keys." - Look At My Records Blog (NYC) - Look At My Records Blog
“Delicate expression of lyrics and a bold main percussion layout, form a somehow mystic atmosphere in this quite interesting single "Rain Won't Fall". The title itself can leave a positive influence to every listener who knows what to choose. The artists have also managed to keep balance among Indie, Psychedelic and Rock elements of sound.” - Nagamag - Nagamag

The project was started by Ames Harding, who grew up in Egypt, India, and Latin America, and combines psychedelia, folk, and world music. The band is made up of Eli Weidman on drums, Mike Saunders on bass, and AJ Arnett on percussion. Their genre-bending songs, built on rich sonic landscapes, surreal lyricism, and percussion, will truly take you on a trip. They have played Sold Out shows of 250+ in their hometown and have embarked on regional tours across the East Coast.
