Zoh Amba is a songwriter and musician from Kingsport, Tennessee, known for their formidable work as a saxophonist and ensemble leader. Blending avant-garde, noise and devotional influences, they’ve built a reputation for deeply expressive, transcendent music. In 2025, Amba made a striking shift toward songwriting, acoustic guitar and folk, expanding their sound into something more direct and personal.

Their Matador debut Eyes Full channels that evolution — a raw, soulful record rooted in Appalachian folk, loose acoustic blues and bursts of feedback-driven intensity. Written as a way to confront memory, identity and home, the album circles themes of seeing and being seen, with character-driven songs that centre working-class lives and quiet struggles with compassion and grace.

Recorded live with Jim White (drums) and Kevin Hyland (electric guitar), Eyes Full captures Amba at their most instinctive and exposed. Following standout singles and a sold-out New York headline show, Amba continues to emerge as a singular voice — one grounded in place, but reaching for something transcendent.
