Scottish/Norwegian alt-pop duo amilost are back with their latest single ‘Afterthought’ out March 12th via Icons Creating Evil Art, their first release of 2025. In the latest single, the duo confronts the experience of being consumed by someone’s memory while trying not to think about them. Through a fusion of indie folk and their trademark alt-pop, the duo explores this universal source of regret and pain with mesmerizing production, and nuanced, surreal vocals from Sigrid and collaborator Nick Wilson.
Penned as an ode to ‘love with unfulfilled potential’ the duo explores this sensitive space with a tenderness and sonic intimacy that represents an evolution in the duo’s sound. Anchored by its warm texture and crystalline production and brought forth with unmistakably vulnerable and honest songwriting, the new single isn’t a departure from the group’s ethos of Scandinavian pop precision but an additional layer indicative of the group’s artistic growth.
The rich and hypnotic warmth of the single leaves listeners wanting more, and is a memorable release sure to build up excitement around future releases for the group in 2025. With a cinematic flair and unique sonic landscape inspired by Phoebe Bridgers, London Grammar, Aurora and BROODS, the duo continues to build their sound and showcase their growth. Nick Wilson’s vocal contributions add a rawness and emotional depth to the single that brings it all together, with his enthusiasm for the song emerging in its vulnerability and authenticity.
