"Ammonite" reveals itself as a late-night admission slurred into the static of a dream. It was written by David Boyden, Jillian Olsen, and Oliver Beardmore and co-produced by Mr. Beardmore and Xav Sinden. The song stirs up a raw emotional gravity that feels at once intimate and universal. Its sound is awash in reverb and melancholy, a swirling blend of yearning vocals, textures, and cinematic depth.
"Ammonite" is a blistering investigation of projection and self-inflicted hurt, the kind of pain we can't resist circling back to. Beardmore's voice, fragile and defiant, hangs like a veil over a blur of guitars and drums that feel like they are caving in under their own damn weight, just like the song itself does when it circles back at you with its final haunting images. Punchlove's influence brings a sparkle, a wall of sound that is crushing and beautiful at once. It's a song that does not try to reach for resolution but merely exists within the ache, inviting us to listen, sit with it, and feel seen.
