Julia Thomsen has teamed up with Marie and Hollie Kenniff again, and “Amber Hours” is out now through Nettwerk Music Group. After “The Distance That Held Us” connected with people, the three composers found their way back to each other. This new piece shows exactly why that makes sense.
“Amber Hours” feels like floating. It’s the kind of music you put on when you need your brain to stop racing for a minute. Atmospheric sounds drift through the track like slow water. Synths and piano melodies weave together in this way that just works.
The three of them have found their rhythm together. There’s space in the composition, everything gets room to exist. Nothing rushes or pushes. The piece just unfolds on its own terms, building this environment where you can actually relax.
What got me is how this track holds your attention without demanding it. It pulls you in softly, keeping you there through texture and mood instead of big dramatic moments. The synth work adds layers without drowning out the delicate piano parts, and those atmospheric sounds make you feel like you’ve stepped into a completely different space.
Julia, Marie and Hollie clearly know how to work with each other at this point. “Amber Hours” benefits from that history. The whole thing feels intentional and complete. If you need a break from everything constantly screaming for your attention, this track offers actual calm.
“Amber Hours” is streaming now.
