Amber Hotel – Lean Closer EP

Step inside. The lights are low, the air is thick, and the night feels endless.
Welcome to Amber Hotel — five rooms, five stories, one descent into the heart of modern desire and disconnection.

Across Lean Closer, the Chicago-based trio turns post-punk and darkwave into a cinematic fever dream. It begins with Amber Hotel, a statement of intent — pulsing basslines, sharp guitars, and a voice that commands and confesses in the same breath. It’s not just a song; it’s an invitation. Check in, and let the walls start whispering.

From there, the descent deepens. Digital Ghost drifts through blue-light hauntings and broken connections. Automatic Devotion dances in obsession’s glow — seductive and claustrophobic all at once. Shadowed Face forces you to confront the version of yourself you’ve been hiding from, while Midnight’s Echo pulls you fully into the dark — a slow hypnosis where time dissolves and echoes replace memory.

Influenced by the timeless pulse of Bauhaus, The Cure, and She Wants Revenge, Lean Closer captures a world where emotion and machinery blur. Every track hums with the tension between control and surrender, reflection and release.

Amber Hotel isn’t nostalgia. It’s a mirror for now — flickering, dangerous, and alive.
Five songs. Five keys. One door you may not want to close again.

Welcome to Amber Hotel.
Check in. Lean closer. Don’t count on checking out.

OTHER SIDE




Early trains and sleepless nights,
She kept chasing city lights.
Every “no” became a spark
A bright ambition in the dark.

You got this
She says it to the mirror every day.
You got this
And now the dream is calling her by name.
You got this
The door she waited for is open wide.
You got this
Step on through, girl shine.

YOU GOT THIS

Changed your crowd

An original song that I made with a professional drummer. I loaded the song into Suno to do a remix. I guess it's still "original"? but who knows anymore. 

Some Way Towards Insane (Suno)

Lyrics : 

It arrives, unexpected  
Like a guillotine, like a mirage  
It falls relentless, no escape  
It haunts your waking, your sleep, your thoughts  

It ignites with a glance  
A vital spark, unmanageable  
Like a truck bearing down  
Walls collapse, barriers dissolve  
  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that hides in corners  
Invisible, inevitable  
Blind or fleeing, it finds you stronger  
  
Two beings never meant to meet  
Yet in the immensity, a miracle is born  
Then comes the wave, trembling  
A nausea of happiness, surprise, uncertainty  
  
The tidal surge turns everything upside down  
And strangely, back into place  
The tremors of the deepest self  
Defenses crumble  
  
Let's talk about love  
Born when nothing was expected  
In idleness, in refusal  
Until the sudden awakening, face to face  
  
Then butterflies, passion, irrational fire  
The heart erupting  
Jerky earthquakes, interrupted by dreams  
We dare to imagine  
  
It grows in silence,  
Between shadows and light  
It whispers in the night,  
It shouts in daylight  
No rules, no reason,  
Only the pulse of fusion  
  
Let's talk about love  
Shared beyond safeguards, beyond reason  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that burns and heals together  
  
Storms and calm,  
Collisions and peace  
Every heartbeat,  
A universe released  
Love is chaos,  
Love is grace  
  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that breaks and rebuilds  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that makes us real  
Let's talk about love  
Love.  
  
It arrives, unexpected  
Walls collapse, barriers dissolve  
Let's talk about love...  
Love.
