London based Scottish/Norwegian alt-pop duo amilost return with their latest single Afterthought  featuring acclaimed artist Nick Wilson on March 12th.  The track marks their latest collaboration with Stockholm-based label Icons Creating Evil Art, following their successful releases Bloom, Tiny War,  and Haunted in 2024.

Written during a snowy December evening in London, their latest offering explores the universal experience of pretending not to think about someone while being consumed by their memory. The track marks an evolution in amilost's artistry, weaving indie folk elements through their signature alt-pop soundscape. At its heart, the emotional resonance builds through the delicate interplay between Sigrid's ethereal, crystalline vocals and Nick Wilson's rich, stirring delivery. Bathed in warm textures and intimate production, it retains their characteristic blend of Scandinavian pop precision and cinematic sweep, while revealing their most vulnerable songwriting yet.
- "Afterthought is a song about that person you pretend to not be thinking about," the duo explains. "It's about the thoughts and scenarios you play out in your head, wondering if they feel the same, and hoping they do. It's about that love with unfulfilled potential, the one that got away, the one who you used to know so well but became a stranger."

Afterthought marks amilost's first collaboration with Nick Wilson, described by the band as "the king of sad songs." Serving as both songwriter and featured artist, Wilson's contribution feels natural given his impressive trajectory - having amassed over 150 million streams and support slots for acclaimed artists Ingrid Andress and Gabrielle Aplin. The song, born in Sigrid's London flat and refined by producer Mark Elliott in Leicestershire, weaves a delicate tapestry of atmospheric warmth and lyrical vulnerability. Wilson's immediate enthusiasm ("can't wait for everyone else to fall in love with it too") mirrors the emotional depth he brings to the track - a quality that has earned his work comparisons to indie giants Bon Iver and Coldplay.

Based in London, amilost have been enchanting audiences with their unique brand of "Scandinavian pop with a touch of cinematic grandeur" since 2022. The Scottish/Norwegian duo's journey began with their debut single Pillowside, which earned significant airplay on Norway's leading station NRK P3 with over 500 plays. Their debut EP Introspective Souvenirs marked them as ones to watch, landing spots on prestigious playlists including Apple's New Music Daily and New In Alternative and Indie Chill, alongside Spotify's Fresh Finds: Pop and New Music Friday.
2024 marked a breakthrough after signing with Stockholm based label Icons Creating Evil Art. Their single Bloom earned acclaim from Earmilk and Metal Magazine, while Tiny War became a viral sensation on TikTok with over 16 million views. Their live performances have impressed audiences from Norway's by:Larm to London's Omeara, including a BBC Introducing live session and support for Tom Speight at Islington Assembly Hall.

Drawing inspiration from Aurora, BROODS, London Grammar and Phoebe Bridgers, amilost creates music that transforms personal experiences into universal emotional landscapes. Afterthought will be available on all major streaming platforms from March 12th via Icons Creating Evil Art.
