MUSIC
“With its lush melodies and sultry vocals, Ames Harding & the Mirage feels like a tropical escapade; they beautifully create a tender soundscape, leading the listener through an intense sensory experience.
Harding’s own multicultural upbringing is reflected in the music, with a blend of folk, latin and indie elements that make for a sophisticated, almost erotic sound.”
“It’s safe to say that no one in indie music has the songwriting range of Ames Harding. Maybe you can find a few artists with Latin and world influences, but can they write a New Orleans jazz song with an actual catchy hook? You’d be hard pressed.
Of course, he has help from his all-star band who fill these songs with as much life as a conservatory.”
