Ampel

Soft, melodic and ever changing twee-pop

About Me

Ampel is cheerful, bright, mainly acoustic pop wrapped up in wry guitar lines overlapping each other and with a lot of jumpy bass melodies. The two front figures of this quintet, Kasper and Ditte sing melodic ditties about the drollness of life without ever over analysing it.

Besides this the funny stage set up creates unexpectedly great variations, and by using a wide variety of analogue instruments such as violin, recorder, jew’s harp, accordion and melodica and having a rhythm section consisting of only a snare drum, a floor tom and some worn out brushes we are a rare act.

In Ampel we take our coffee in many different ways; black, with milk, with milk and sugar, with powdered milk out of a foldable cup or not at all; how do you like yours?
