Amber Frost’s latest album, Daydream, is a lush, atmospheric blend of dream pop and indie folk that invites listeners into a world of introspection and fleeting moments. The album’s opener, Waves of You, sets the tone with Frost’s delicate vocals layered over soft acoustic guitars and subtle synths, creating an ethereal atmosphere that permeates the entire record.
The track Fading Echoes stands out as one of the album’s most emotional moments. The lyrics, “You’re the shadow that won’t fade / A memory I can’t trade,” are both haunting and poignant. Frost’s voice, fragile yet powerful, perfectly captures the melancholic theme of holding onto something that’s slipping away.
While Daydream offers a soothing experience, it doesn’t shy away from moments of intensity, like Silver Stars, where layers of atmospheric synths crescendo into a powerful conclusion, elevating the track to a euphoric high. Throughout, Frost’s songwriting is full of raw emotion, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
Daydream is an album that allows the listener to get lost in its layers. Frost’s ability to merge gentle melodies with emotional depth makes this release a standout in 2024’s indie scene. This record isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s an experience.
