Amason Share New Song “You Don’t Have to Call Me” and Cover “All the Stars”

First Single from New Album Due This August

Apr 11, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Amason

Sweden’s Amason have shared a new song, the slow-burner “You Don’t Have to Call Me.” It’s the first single from their upcoming new album, which a press release says is due out this August. They have also done a P3 Session (a Norwegian radio program on NRK P3) where they perform “You Don’t Have to Call Me” and “Ålen,” with the latter song morphing into a cover of Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “All the Stars,” from the Black Panther soundtrack. Check it all out below.

Amason’s excellent debut album, Sky City, came out back in January 2015 on Fairfax Recordings/INGRID. Amason’s members also play in other notable Swedish bands and are Pontus Winnberg (Miike Snow), Gustav Ejstes (Dungen), Petter Winnberg (Little Majorette), Amanda Bergman (Hajen, Idiot Wind), and Nils Törnqvist (Little Majorette).

Bergman had this to say about “You Don’t Have to Call Me” in a press release: “Some songs take forever to complete. Seems like they’re sliding, indefinitely. Be it in and out of the ‘finished’ folder or in and out of your head. Changed and rearranged forever until it’s dead and dried out. This song is an example of the opposite. Bread, butter, cheese, eat. No nervous afterthoughts. We’re nothing but proud.”
