“Toska” is the leading single from the ambient guitarist Amparo’s upcoming ep, “Dark Sky City.” Originally hailing from Tucson, Arizona but currently residing in Gothenburg, Sweden, Amparo focused on creating an ep filled with memories and reminders from her time spent in the deserts of southern Arizona.
Toska – noun /ˈtō-skə/ – Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.
Though Amparo has come to embrace her new surroundings, there is still a sense of longing for her home, which can be felt throughout this record.
