Amos The Transparent

AmosThe Transparent can go from six-part a cappella harmonies and handclaps to four across the front, balls-out guitar rock in the flick of a pick -- and that’s the beauty of them. Their lush arrangements and subtle textures on their two releases, their debut album “Everything I’ve Forgotten To Forget,” and their new EP “My, What Big Teeth You Have…” can be stripped down acoustically or turned up to ten.

One of Amos the Transparent's defining characteristics is their authentic ability to capture a mood. Lyrical themes of love and loss, hope and despair channel the spirit of Elliott Smith, while the music evokes the minimalist charm of Wilco.

The Ottawa-based band has quickly become darlings on the Canadian scene and is equally comfortable sharing a stage with The Dears, Jeff Beck, or Loverboy. Now a six-piece, the band was founded by Jonathan Chandler (vocals and guitar) and drummer Christopher Wilson and includes long standing members Mark Hyne and James Nicol as well as relative newcomers Dan Hay and Kate Cooke. With a permanent line-up now solidified, their shows are quickly becoming legendary.
