Track By Track: Amistat Take Us Inside Their Stunning Debut

For those uninitiated, AMISTAT is the acoustic duo comprised of talented twins Josef and Jan Prasil.

Originating from Germany, the the honorary Aussie sons packed their rucksacks and relocated here in 2013 to rekindle their deep mutual love of music.

Since 2013 they’ve won over fans across the nation, playing their delicately crafted acoustic sets, busking throughout the streets of Melbourne. When you witness them live it’s clear what they’ve garnered so much love thanks to their unshakable emotional investment in their music.

The guys will be hitting the road around Australia this February and March to celebrate the release of their debut album, Parley out tomorrow Friday March 4th. Ahead of its release the guys have decided to help get familiar with the record by penning a killer track by track which you can check out below.

Addictive Pain

Is a song that’s written about feeling addicted to a feeling of sadness and feeling like you need to make a mess out of every difficult situation. The strongest and most present you feel when your hurt. You know it’s not the right thing to do or to feel but you somehow can’t help yourself

Redeem Yourself

A breakup song written almost two years ago when Josef broke up with his Australian girlfriend he moved to Australia for. Its about learning to forgive and love yourself.

Parley

A song about realising that a person very close to you (Friend, Family, Partner etc.) has two different sides. A good and a bad one. And you either start to accept and tolerate both sides or you simply have to walk away from that person.

Presence

Anything in life is possible. With the right attitude and mindset you can achieve anything. If the intention is pure and comes from the right place.

Born to Reign

Inspired by a busker we met in Melbourne two years ago called Brat!
Its about having hope and faith in what will be, and in people. We are all made to rule this world as one big team which can lead to peace and harmony. Start appreciating what we have and being grateful.

Born Without a Mask

We are born pure and uninfluenced by our surroundings and society. The older you get the more influenced you get through media and the environment. They start wearing a “mask” which makes it hard for people to see your real “YOU” and having problems seeing who you really are.

Heavy eyes

A song about feeling everyone’s pain and weight.

Being “colourblind”, a state of feeling numb and not present in life and finally breaking through that negative feeling and filling your mind with positivity and faith.

You never know what’s around the corner. Seeing everything black and white and not being able to be open minded.

Charlatan

Happiness is something that is in our lives constantly. It never leaves our side. Yet sometimes we struggle to feel it. When you are facing hard times and struggle you are somehow able to connect to that inner happiness within yourself again. Every struggle is a blessing and to change that mindset you need to change your mind.

Nameless Depth

We are born pure and uninfluenced of any evil and darkness.
Whilst growing up we loose a bit of that innocence and forget that life is a gift.

Most people believe that all our lives we are searching for that one person to spend the rest of our life with.

They cant seem to find any happiness unless it’s shared.

This song talks about the fact that we are born and die alone and that whilst going through heartache and letting people go you get closer to being able to see that sharing life with yourself sometimes opens a different doors and reveals new paths.

Vada

It’s a song we wrote for the son of our best friend / General Manager called Vada. He asked us to write the song before he was born to prepare him for his big- little journey. (Life)
