Zoh Amba + Lifter

Zoh Amba is a songwriter and musician from Kingsport, Tennessee, known for their expressive work as a saxophonist and ensemble leader. Blending avant-garde, noise and devotional influences, Amba has recently turned towards songwriting, acoustic guitar and folk, expanding their sound into something more direct and personal.

Their Matador debut, Eyes Full, pairs raw Appalachian folk and loose acoustic blues with bursts of feedback-driven intensity. Recorded live with drummer Jim White and guitarist Kevin Hyland, the album explores memory, identity and home through soulful, character-driven songs rooted in working-class life.
