Nomad Discology #004 - Amber Leith

Learning classical guitar from a brilliant bluegrass player nudged me towards my affection for the acoustic music of Jose Gonzalez and Bombay Bicycle Club's second album (flaws). I developed a taste for the stranger and more processed with James Blake and Boards of Canada, and also a love for the progressive, electronic and psychedelic (Mogwai, Radiohead, Flying Lotus and Pond).

When Oli asked me to contribute to the Nomad Discology I immediately thought of these bands and what they mean to me. Compositions from video games as well played a big part of my musical taste so I've included Zunari's Theme from Zelda. Frightened Rabbit have been and still are my favourite band.

I've tried to include songs that really moved me growing up and hope they give the listener a similar feeling to what they give me.

The Nomad Discology is a series that focusses on local artists / musicians and how their heritage and personal life journeys have shaped their sound. Nomad by definition is a person who does not stay long in the same place; a wanderer. In this mixtape series we should both get the flavour of someones origins whilst joining them on a sonic venture to their past, present and future.
