Info for VHS 2.0

X Ambassadors sind eine vierköpfige Band aus Ithaca (New York), bestehend aus Sänger und Gitarrist Sam Harris, seinem blinden Bruder Casey Harris am Keyboard, Gitarrist Noah Feldshuh und Schlagzeuger Adam Levin. Bekannt wurde die Band durch ihre Single „Jungle“ (mit Jamie N Commons) die unter anderem den Soundtrack zur massiven „BEATS by Dr. Dre-WM-Kampagne 2014“ und zum Trailer zweiten Staffel „Orange Is The New Black“ lieferte. Ihren bereits veröffentlichten EPs Love Songs Drug Songs (2013) und The Reason (2014) folgt im Februar 2016 ihr Debütalbum „VHS“.

Die wichtigsten Zutaten des Debütalbums mögen zwar druckvoller Rock und der leidenschaftliche Pop-Einschlag sein, allerdings basiert vieles davon zugleich auf einem rhythmischen Fundament, das so nur von echten HipHop-Fans stammen kann. Auch die Labelkollegen der Band Jamie N Commons und Imagine Dragons sind auf „VHS“ zu hören – ersterer unterstützt sie auf „Jungle“ und „Low Life“ und letztere auf „Fear“.

„Mir war wichtig, dass sich das Album insgesamt wie ein Film anfühlt“, sagt Sam Harris. Und wie in einem Film, geht es in den Songs von VHS auch um Bewegung, um Geschwindigkeit, um den Wunsch, irgendein heilloses Beziehungschaos und die Enge des Kleinstadtdaseins hinter sich zu lassen.

X Ambassadors


X Ambassadors
Ithaca, New York-based X Ambassadors make passionate, dark, electronic-based pop centered around the throaty, soulful vocals of Sam Harris. Formed in 2009, X Ambassadors also features Harris' keyboardist brother Casey Harris, childhood friend/guitarist Noah Feldshuh, and drummer Adam Levin. Originally going by the name Ambassadors, they released a self-titled EP in 2009. To the group's surprise, their song "Litoist" garnered online buzz and was eventually put into rotation on Virginia's 96X radio station. Another song, "Unconsolable," also drew listeners, and the attention helped score the band a management deal and recording contract. In 2013, the newly-minted X Ambassadors released their sophomore EP, Love Songs Drug Songs, on Interscope. They then joined Imagine Dragons and Jimmy Eat World on tour. The following year, the group received wider exposure when "The Jungle," a collaboration with Jamie N Commons, was featured in a commercial for Dr. Dre's electronics/headphones company Beats. On the heels of this success, X Ambassadors released their third EP, The Reason. In 2015, they released their debut full-length, VHS, which featured production from Alex Da Kid and included the single "Renegades." The album reached number seven on the Billboard 200. (AMG)
