With long, intertwining guitar melodies, songs on The Amazing's latest album, Picture You, stretch out in a satisfying way. Lead member Christoffer Gunrup led a band called Granada before forming The Amazing six years ago. On this episode of World Cafe Sense of Place, we'll talk with him and company and hear a performance live from X-Level Studios in Stockholm. We'll also hear why Gunrup doesn't like the term "psychedelic band," a phrase they've heard plenty of times. Look for a video of The Amazing at our Tumblr.
