Vinyl LP pressing, includes . Amends dwells in the intricacies of relationships - broken bonds between friends, family, and lovers - and hoping to heal. A contemplation on loss and forgiveness, the album volleys between the perspectives of D'Agustino and co-songwriter/lead guitarist Andrew Wolfson. The 11 tracks deal with universal themes including the tension of family, loss, and learning to move on without resentment (Amends, Lighthouse), breakups (Unwind With Me), anxieties (Downstairs), and hope for the future (Silver Screen). As a whole, Amends represents Active Bird Community's efforts to contend honestly with the pain of their experiences and explore the empowering nature of forgiveness.
