Ames Harding & The Mirage — founding member Ames Harding (vocals, lyrics, production) along with Eli Weidman (drums), Mike Saunders (bass) and AJ Arnott (percussion) – formed back in 2021. And since their formation, the quartet have been busy crafting genre-bending and genre-defying material built on rich sonic landscapes, surreal lyricism and complex percussion.
The quartet’s latest single “Rain Won’t Fall” is built around a trippy and laconic groove paired with complex polyrhythmic percussion, punctuated with DFA Records level cowbell and Harding’s dreamy delivery. The result is a song that seems like a slick synthesis of Tame Impala, DFA Records, The Phenomenal Handclap Band and a few others.
