Music: Amber Hotel & Into the Shadows with “Automatic Devotion”

Amber Hotel: a new darkness rising from the alleys of modern-day Chicago. In a time when the world feels heavier, stranger, and more electric than ever, Amber Hotel are not here to indulge in nostalgia — they are here to reimagine and respond. Shoegaze reimagined. Dark wave reborn. Melancholy with purpose.

Drawing on the haunting spirit of Bauhaus, The Damned, Joy Division, The Sisters of Mercy, and My Bloody Valentine, Amber Hotel create a gathering place for those who feel out of step with the breakneck pace of the modern world. This is music as sanctuary: lush, shadowed, and cathartic.

“Automatic Devotion” is Amber Hotel’s moody, atmospheric new single — a hypnotic three-minute plunge into devotion, repetition, and the fine line between comfort and compulsion. Swirling guitars, driving bass, and haunting vocals create a sonic space that feels intimate and unsettling all at once. It’s not just dream pop or shoegaze; it’s noir for the dance floor, a ritual for the disenchanted, a soundtrack for anyone who has ever felt consumed by desire.
