Amnion is from Glassell Park, CA. Glossolalia Park?
Amnion formed in the Summer of 2007, and began work on their debut album "AmenNamO" in the Fall of 2007. They are readying material for their second full-length, and plan to record again in the Summer of 2008.
Amnion is accessible neo-pagan-pop-psychedelia in the vein of Arcade Fire & Animal Collective meets Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney Wings, or David Bowie & theSupremes meets Queen & Carole King. The lyrics are about self-dis-re-covery and LOVE in the nowHERE&afterlife told in plain terms, sparingly metaphorical, often mantric. LeadVocal duties are shared by the husband/wife members of the band, Aaron and Nikki Embry, and group singing is a staple of their live shows. Instrumentation is Drums, Piano, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, and live treatments.
Standout tracks on "AmenNamO" are difficult to choose, but if you must test the water before you decide to jump "All the Way" in, start your morning with "Praise gOd for the Light Within Me", and give yourself a dose of "Heart Breath Magik", along with "A Ton" of "One Love".
CD copies of "AmenNamO" will be sold in stores and at Amnion's live shows, and "AmenNamO" is being offered in it's entirety as a free-download from their website.
It is also hosted on iMEEM for embedding in blog posts.

This Tuesday, June 9 we're releasing the single of our version of "Better Day" for download at amnion.bandcamp.com and we're excited to hear what y'all come up with!
Re-mix it ambient, noise, gabba, crunk, backwards, whatever....no matter how convoluted and insane your re-mix is (gr8!) we'll upload it as long as you haven't added any offensive lyrics or material outside of the Creative Commons license.
