Amiture is an electronic band formed in New York in 2020. Originating out of solo audio/visual work by artist Jack Whitescarver, since 2021 Amiture has become a collaboration between Whitescarver and Hudson Valley based artist Coco Goupil. Amiture released their debut album “The Beach” in 2021. Written by Whitescarver on a solo tour of the American South in 2019, “The Beach” marked a departure from his past performance art based experimentation to a darker more dance oriented sound.
Since then, Amiture has gone deeper into sonic experimentation, working across different genres and instrumentation, such as guitar, violin, and sampled loops, to achieve a newer sound of their own. Drawing on the sparse atmosphere of New York’s Hudson Valley and their shared affinity for club music, psychedelic rock, and experimental improvisation- Amiture is slowly building what will become their 2nd LP.
