SOME PRESS:

Spin

"Amestory took three years to write the music for their debut album, which isn't such a long time considering it was spent building a bridge between indie rock, emo, melodic pop, and chamber music. The brainchild of California-based artists Mike Russell (vocals, guitar) of Respira, and Doug Prior (piano), Amestory -- which also includes J.D. Knotts (drums, slide) and Derek Coburn (bass) -- now seamlessly leaps between meticulously-constructed haunting orchestral sounds and minimalist rock. With alternately somber and dubiously optimistic lyrics layered over evocative instrumentals, Amestory's self-titled debut begs to be listened to while contemplating that failed relationship as the rain pounds on your window."



Entertainment Weekly Online

"The song 'Constants' by Amestory has everything you could want in an indie rock song: piano, violin, ethereal synths, a plucky acoustic guitar, and, most important, raspy melancholic vocals. Yeah, he sounds a little like Jeremy Enigk , but nowadays, who doesn't? Expect to hear it when/if Ryan and Marissa break up on The O.C."
