Enter Amber Hotel. A new darkness rising from the alleys of modern-day Chicago.

In a world that feels more shadowed than ever before, Amber Hotel emerges—not as a throwback, but as a timely response. Shoegaze reimagined. Dark wave reborn. Melancholy with purpose. The band channels the spirit of Bauhaus, The Damned, Joy Division, The Sisters of Mercy, and My Bloody Valentine—not to relive the past, but to confront the present.

Amber Hotel is not nostalgia. It’s a gathering point. A sanctuary for those who feel out of step with the speed of the modern world. It’s 2025, and things have never felt stranger, heavier, or more electric.

Their debut single Automatic Devotion is a brooding dance with obsession—about surrendering control to a feeling, a person, or a presence that pulls you in and won’t let go. Hypnotic, sultry, and claustrophobic, it pulses like a nightclub lost in time.

With an EP set to follow this fall, Automatic Devotion marks the beginning of a four-part descent—one that dares you to look inward while the world blurs around you.

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