It’s 2026. Have you lost hope in humanity yet? Well, most of us certainly have, but New York’s Amiture Music just might help relieve that anxiety you have. And Amiture Music is new music. The band is set to release its new self-titled album (Dots Per Inch) on March 20, 2026. This leads us to the band’s third single off the release, “Love Song,” which jump-starts as a twister of information and punctuation underneath a singer’s rush to get words out & said.

Despite the similarly sprinting cadences, there is a contrast here between complex sound and a message that is pure of heart. A true uttering of love is that which no amount of complexity can undo. “Love Song” is the most archetypal recording from Amiture Music, since it blends the soft simplicity of a classic message with a density of arrangement that almost hides what is otherwise obvious. The band shares the video for the new single.

Influenced by the formal inventiveness and punctuated rhythms of avant-garde composer Glenn Branca and experimental act This Heat, Amiture Music pulls most from the deep grooves and hard edges of the Jesus Lizard, Unwound, and Blonde Redhead. Brooklyn-based musician and artist Jack Whitescarver began making dark, synth-heavy pop as Amiture in 2018, releasing The Beach (2021) before pivoting to the experimental trip-hop of Mother Engine, released in 2024 to critical acclaim. Drummer Justin Fossella, bassist Max Berine Shafer, and multi-instrumentalist Allie Wrubel joined Whitescarver later in 2024, and the project blossomed in character and scope from textured experiments in songwriting and genre into a fully-fledged band, Amiture Music.

With New York as their chambers, Whitescarver, Fossella, Beirne Shafer, and Wrubel push the traditional bass-drums-guitar-voice setup to the point that each instrument sings wildly, following its own logic until all the strands weave together and turn discord into beauty.
