_“AMMO recalls so many different artists (Kate Bush, Jane Siberry, Cocteau Twins,
Slowdive), while not sounding particularly like any of them very much. This is melancholic
loaded reverie, capable of entrancing you into Lynchian territory”_ ~ **[The Spill Magazine](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fspillmagazine.com%2f58510&umid=c46a431a-997f-4ad7-87d9-b958869ba827&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-edae80698d3f8aad0cea291805c888a2eff65579)**

pop crafts all over it.

_“Some artists have that magic that makes you want to return to their music again
and again. AMMO is definitely among them with an addictive blend of Chromatics-style
whispers and Phantogram melodicism, fueling both to the max”_ ~ **[Amplify Music Magazine](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2famplifymusicmag.com%2fnugaze%2dnewcomer%2dammo%2dpays%2dtribute%2dto%2dadrian%2dborland%2dthe%2dsound%2don%2dtotal%2drecall%2f&umid=c46a431a-997f-4ad7-87d9-b958869ba827&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-712456d4e4f8be940e08e26711750fc6f37b00c3)**

which is being releasedvia California-based **Mourning Sun Records**.

‘Rose + Crown’ was born of the isolation and swift emerging darkness wrought upon
the world by the current pandemic, echoing themes of catharsis and freedom from 
self-imposed shackles, whether physical or psychological. Written by AMMO, it was
co-produced and recorded with [**Alex Posell**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.discogs.com%2fartist%2f57446%2dAlex%2dPosell&umid=c46a431a-997f-4ad7-87d9-b958869ba827&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-7ce6eb1a71ce21d42f31aea3fe8a5537e07d302a)**,**

label, aimed at increasing awareness to the mental health conditions plaguing millions
today. Inspired by **Adrian Borland **(frontman of criminally underrated, yet tremendously
influential 1980s UK band **The Sound**), who suffered from schizoaffective disorder
and severe depression.

AMMO’s distillate aesthetic can be described as otherworldly ethereal shoegaze, 
driven by the pulse of primordial percussive rhythms that provide a backdrop for
haunting vocals and lush, atmospheric guitar lines. Siouxsie and the Banshees, Rudimentary
Peni, Dead Can Dance, Cranes, Cocteau Twins and Enya act as the influential foundation,
supporting the lens through which AMMO channels her art.

AMMO has enveloped herself in a number of music, photography and film projects. 
Her band [**Brass Box**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.facebook.com%2fbrassbox&umid=c46a431a-997f-4ad7-87d9-b958869ba827&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-f6e935f0ee50230cf4beaa83eaff71b520847819)

in 2019.  Past music projects include **Black Flamingo, Darklands** and** Tête. **
Her music has been said to “shackle the living or free the dead…” by creating mystical
magnetic soundscapes – “the kind of music that should soundtrack a sand-dune-to-
shoreline road movie by David Lynch”. A rock and roll photographer, musician and
songwriter, AMMO spent her youth ditching school to delve through record store bins
and scour the LA music and art scene in hopes of running into like-minds.  Pushing
boundaries and challenging the status quo is a constant in her life. She has shot
and produced a feature film, co-founded [**PLAG Presents**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.plagpresents.com&umid=c46a431a-997f-4ad7-87d9-b958869ba827&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-36fd52338ca708e3ae0c09a6e174d89df6562af1),
a platform for women musicians and the LGBTQ community voices to be heard.

Her storied history in shooting fashion editorials and directing short films and
music videos have given her the tools to achieve a deeper connection with her listeners.
These artistic mediums empower her exploration of illusive and melancholic topics
which offer listeners an emotional and visceral experience by creating a dialogue
between the imagined and physical.
