It\u2019s a sweeping, emotionally resonant journey through space and psyche. Where the first track charted humanity\u2019s urgent thrust into the cosmos, \u201cEarthrise\u201d pauses in awe, capturing the fragile beauty of our home planet from the cold vantage point of the Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the iconic Apollo 8 photograph, the song imagines the emotional gravity of seeing Earth hanging in the void: delicate, blue, and alive. It\u2019s a moment of reflection amidst the vastness, blending lush instrumental textures with melodic motifs that shimmer and swirl like solar wind. In this moment, the Earth is a beacon of comfort for the traveller, a reminder of origins, of ecosystems in balance, and of everything at stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as the song progresses, there\u2019s a gentle melancholy. The Earth eventually sets, slipping below the Moon\u2019s horizon. The moment passes, and the astronaut (a stand-in for all of us) must continue forward toward uncertainty, toward new worlds, toward survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEarthrise\u201d is an ideal track for reflective sets, sci-fi themes, or progressive programming that leans into the cinematic. As with all of Ambient Den\u2019s work, the track balances technical finesse with emotional storytelling and will resonate with fans of Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield or Steven Wilson. \u2013 Robin Larsen (Desert Comb Music)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the official visualizer for \u201cEarthrise (Single Edit)\u201d via the YouTube player below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 About Ambient Den \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born from the uncertainty of lockdowns and the joy of spontaneous creation, Ambient Den is the new Progressive Rock project from Australian musicians Ben Craven (\u201cMonsters From The Id,\u201d \u201cGreat &amp; Terrible Potions\u201d), Tim Bennetts (Seven Day Mask, SUB INC), and Dean Povey (Frankenfido). What began as intimate jam sessions between Craven and Bennetts evolved into a full-fledged band project, built on a dynamic musical chemistry reminiscent of David Gilmour &amp; Rick Wright or Mike Rutherford &amp; Tony Banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band\u2019s self-titled debut album, \u201cAmbient Den\u201d, is a Cinematic concept record that tells the story of humanity\u2019s search for a new home among the stars, culminating in the terraforming of a distant world. Produced by Craven, the album stays true to his signature lush arrangements and layered instrumentation, but the songwriting is a fully collaborative effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the great Progressive Rock bands of the 1970s, Ambient Den embraces the spirit of musicians creating together in the same room, much like the classic era before success scattered band members across different continents. The result is an album that blends atmosphere, melody, and grand storytelling, standing apart from Craven\u2019s solo work while retaining the cinematic, immersive qualities that fans have come to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With \u201cAmbient Den\u201d releasing 28 July, the band invites listeners to embark on an odyssey through space and sound. And for those paying attention, the name Ambient Den is more than just a phrase. It\u2019s an anagram of \u201cTim,\u201d \u201cBen,\u201d and \u201cDean,\u201d a reflection of the unity and spontaneity that defines the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-Order here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandcamp (CD, 24bit 96kHz digital download): https:\/\/ambientden.bandcamp.com\/album\/ambient-den<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bandwagon USA (CD): https:\/\/thebandwagonusa.com\/collections\/ambient-den<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just For Kicks (Europe): https:\/\/www.justforkicks.de\/shop\/progressive\/ben-craven-ambient-den<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Future History Part 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For All Mankind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earthrise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terraforming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Future History Part 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For All Mankind (Single Edit) 05:44<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earthrise (Single Edit) 04:39<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terraforming (Single Edit) 04:23<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Future History Part 2 (Single Edit) 04:26<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ambient Den unveil the official visualizer for \u201cEarthrise (Single Edit)\u201d taken from upcoming concept album ByJacopo VigezziJul 1, 2025 Following the driving propulsion of their debut single \u201cFor All Mankind,\u201d Ambient Den returns with \u201cEarthrise,\u201d the second single from their self-titled concept album.
