About Me

Ember After burns hard and heavy through a dark mechanized landscape. Ember After serves up thoughtful words with heavy beats, grinding guitars, soaring voices, and menacing electro-mechanical atmospherics.

From their base in Southern California, Ember After shines upon the doubt, deceit, and isolation that passes for “modern life.” With Grasping at Straws, Ember After firmly stakes out its dark, heavy, electro-drenched territory. These Embers have just started smoldering…

Ember After's debut CD, Grasping At Straws is available for sale at CD Baby for $10.99. Our goal was to deliver not simply great music, but a great CD package as well. The CD includes 16 songs, a 12-page full-color booklet with artwork, band images, and complete lyrics. We're very happy with the complete package.

CD Baby also offers the CD as 200kbps mp3s (DRM-free) for $8.99.
