The G185TARR Vandal Mix of Ami Leigh’s seminal single, The Raven, detonates with hypersonic industrial electro rock before the mechanical intensity makes way for indie rock melodicism that finds new intersections through punk ethos. It’s a sonic collision course, where rallyingly magnetic vocals evoke alt-90s nostalgia as they glide across white-hot guitars and the brutal percussive force driving the track forward.
Bringing the rough with the smooth, the seductive with the savage, Leigh lands in an intrinsically distinctive alt-rock domain, toying with elements of post-hardcore before tossing them aside in favour of a pop-hooked chorus. The contrast is a masterstroke—every shift in momentum feels calculated yet completely untamed.
The mix affirms that Ami Leigh isn’t just making noise in the North East—she’s forging a path with her fearless genre fluidity. As a fixture on BBC Introducing and international radio charts, her ability to adapt and innovate is on full display in The Raven. It’s the epitome of an infectious anthem, engineered to leave an imprint long after the final synth riff signals its departure.
