“Amends” by Count the Thief – A Song Feature


      “Amends” is a series of waves of intensity and complexity separated by ebbs that reveal an overall beauty. The song is the title single of a four-track EP released by Count the Thief, a band from Bangkok, Thailand.

     Although intensity undergoes quick transitions and climatic crescendos, passion is apparent throughout “Amends.” The alignment with the lyrical message sits quietly during the intro and outro, with the guitar resembling a solemn piano riff. Immediately following the intro, the guitar playing becomes more delicate and embraces the lyrics – “Pleased to meet you,,, again.” But “Amends” also includes portions in which the bass and percussion are thunderous. The instruments and lyrics are impactful – “Place your weapons down and make amends.”

     The explanation of the four-track EP “Amends” is interesting:
  “After waiting four years since the release of their debut album ‘New Role,’ Count the Thief is ready to return to the alternative Indie Rock scene with their upcoming four-track EP, ‘Amends.’ Count the Thief, masters of intricate rhythms intertwined with swelling highs and lows, are excited to show off a new sound which is emotionally-charged and intense, yet beautiful. 
  From their title track, “Amends,” which features dramatic suspense through its pulsating bassline and exciting rhythm section, all the way to ‘Zero Four,’ a hard-rocking track which takes singer Danny Duncombe’s voice to a whole new level, this EP shows that Bangkok’s favourite Indie Rockers are back and better than ever. With over a million streams to date of their debut album, Count the Thief looks forward to expanding their fan base and reaching new crowds through shows while on tour worldwide. Download or stream 'Amends' on all online stores worldwide from December 6, 2019!"

     The members of Bangkok’s Count the Thief are Danny Duncombe (rhythm guitar, vocals), Toby Willems (drums, vocals), Dave Lefor (lead guitar), and Jerome Torrefranca (bass guitar).
