Analog Amara Announce Debut EP ‘Slowly Falling Apart’ – Out 31 October, 2025
A rocket scientist, an American Idol alum, and a former Atlantic Records drummer walk into a room and the result is one of the most honest rock debuts of the year.
Denver’s Analog Amara have announced their debut EP “Slowly Falling Apart”, landing 7th November. Written in studios and rehearsal spaces across the city, Analog Amara’s forthcoming ep was recorded and produced at Unity Of Noise studios. This new modern melodic rock five-track collection pulls no punches in its exploration of unraveling connections, fading memories, and the restless search for something steady amid change.
To mark the announcement, the band has shared a music video for cornerstone single “Is It All”; a track that perfectly encapsulates the EP’s raw sentiment.
Says vocalist Amanda Hawkins:
Writing these songs in Colorado homes, in living rooms and spare bedrooms gave them a sense of truth I hadn’t felt in a long time. We weren’t trying to sound like anything. We just followed what felt real.
The new EP, “Slowly Falling Apart”, is not a concept record, but it does follow a clear emotional arc. It traces the kinds of endings that are hard to name at the time; relationships, versions of yourself, seasons of life. And in every track, there’s a sense of searching for something steady to hold onto, to anchor to, even when things are shifting underneath.
Analog Amara began in Denver in 2022, when three musicians from different backgrounds found a shared approach to songwriting. Amanda Hawkins, Max Powers, and Jim Wilcox first collaborated during a home recording session. It started casually, but it quickly became clear that the songs they were creating belonged to something more than a short-term project.
Each member brings a different history that shapes the band into a unique and tangible proposition for rock music listeners:
Amanda began singing as a child and was quickly placed in formal training after a music instructor overheard her voice. That early talent led her to Los Angeles, where she released solo work, collaborated with other artists, and even auditioned for American Idol. After returning home to Colorado, Amanda took on a new role as the national anthem singer for the Colorado Avalanche, performing weekly in front of thousands. That experience sparked a renewed drive to write her own material—this time with a deeper focus and emotional clarity.
Jim came up through the Los Angeles punk scene. At 19, he signed with Atlantic Records as the founding drummer of Authority Zero, launching into a decade of touring. Eventually, he stepped back to explore production, DJing, and other creative work. Now based in Denver, Jim also drums for the punk band Record Thieves. His background in high-energy performance, paired with a producer’s sense of space and control, gives Analog Amara its rhythmic force and flexibility.
Max brings a unique combination of creative instinct and technical depth. A longtime player in Colorado’s punk and alternative scenes, Max has performed in bands like No Bueno!, Blink 303, The Goonies, and Barre Chord Bangers. Outside of music, he holds a PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado. Whether in the lab or in the studio, his approach is precise and intentional. His guitar work balances structure and volatility; emotional but never out of control.
What connects the three members is not genre or background, but intent, drive and passion. Every song is shaped collaboratively, built on trust, and focused on telling the truth of the moment. Analog Amara is not built to chase trends. It is the result of experience, clarity, and the decision to write without compromise.
