Amber Arcades: a Dutch musician balancing law, self-funded recordings, and a debut built in New York
Amber Arcades is the moniker of Dutch musician Annelotte de Graaf, whose debut album Fading Lines was recorded in New York with producer Ben Greenberg after she decided to finance it herself. The album was released in June 2016 and appears on the Heavenly label. In the source interview, de Graaf says she writes from connected thoughts, ideas, and memories rather than one fixed story. The same interview also describes her day job in government law, a schedule that shaped how she made and promoted the record. Fading Lines offers a clear starting point, and songs such as Come With Me and Right Now are documented on the album tracklist.
