The Amblers Release New Single High Water Ahead of Forthcoming EP Never the Two Shall Part
South African rock duo The Amblers return with High Water, the first single from their upcoming EP Never the Two Shall Part, out 26 September 2025 via Mongrel Records.
Known for their gritty honesty and uncompromising artistry, The Amblers are expanding their sonic palette without losing their raw identity. The new EP sees the band weaving in synth textures and bold production choices, while keeping the emotional weight and signature tones that have earned them a loyal following.
“We’ve branched out a bit,” the band shares. “There’s a lot more synth work and new production techniques, but it all still fits. It’s undeniably The Amblers — just more of what’s always been there, waiting to come out.”
Refusing formulas or easy answers, the duo creates instinctively, resisting industry noise and outside influence to keep their work authentic. Their music reflects the divided state of the world with undertones of defiance and awareness, but without prescribing resolutions.
High Water delivers a haunting, poetic reflection on mistrust and survival, blending evocative imagery with a gripping melody that lingers long after the final note.
Working once again with trusted collaborators Jacques Du Plessis (High Seas Studios) and Benjamin Craig (Craig Amps), the band’s sound continues to evolve while remaining fiercely their own.
The Amblers don’t see themselves as entertainers, but as artists who challenge, reflect, and inspire.
