Amiture is New York duo Jack Whitescarver & Coco Goupil. Coming off the heels of a debut LP in 2021, Whitescarver asked Goupil to join the group. Goupil quickly brought a new element to the mix, specifically in their guitar playing, hazier production, and shared affinity for swampy heavy beats. This new element mixes well with the dance-oriented core of Amiture’s debut LP, which Them Magazine called "Mysterious and abstract […] a glimpse into Amiture’s bleak world on fire.” Amiture is pleased in conjuring a sonic world that can appear veiled—and even playfully illegible. Their character is that of a narrator condemned to give form to a series of events that may bear no meaning in their association, but all of which are packed tight with emotion, interest, and memory. They keep their own dignity by taunting the listener, but only a little bit. The Beach pursues this meandering expressivity with grace. Amiture’s sound exists in the vast in-betweens of Captain Beefheart, Suicide, Nine Inch Nails, the blues and techno. It nods to contemporary club, dance, & sound music while paying homage to melody and lyricism- never restricted to any genre but always committing to a continuous thread of experimentation and big themes of life, death, sex and freedom. The duo taught themselves Ableton, have pushed their curiosities to their limits and have fleshed out their future sound with a series of remixes and B-Sides released in the summer and fall of 2022.
