"Auburn Silhouette" is Amongst Myselves' latest piece. "To me this album is about light and the sky. I like the chaos that rules these natural elements and that humanity has no rule over them. The weather is another inspirational element within Auburn Silhouette. The weather controls people's moods. I like to think that all the tracks on the album are like different weather patterns." said Roberts.

Roberts spent more time fine tuning this album. "I took a lot longer on this release as I feel I rushed my previous releases. What's the hurry ? It takes me a very long time to meld the whole album together but previously I've always felt pressured to get it out there. Those pressures were always based on my belief that I have to keep things moving along" said Roberts. "I've also stopped worrying about genres and were I fit in - something that was stupidly always on my mind."

During the making of Auburn Silhouette, Amongst Myselves spent a year in a small studio near London, England. "It was a great opportunity to be able to pull up roots and move there. I recorded "Munstead Heath" while staying near a small village in the Surrey countryside - very picturesque though I'm not sure that's what is expressed in that track." said Roberts.

Amongst Myselves has started to combine his own film work with his musical pieces. "Auburn Silhouette" comes with a DVD featuring 3 short films created to accompany tracks from the album. "I've found that the film work I have been doing helps inspire the sound. I suppose it comes back to that sound track idea I've always had in my mind for Amongst Myselves. It allows me to be more literal in the track meaning where necessary." said Roberts.

2007 is planned to be the year that Amongst Myselves starts to become a live act for the first time. "I've always liked playing live in bands so it was just a natural progression to take the music and images to the people" said Roberts. Amongst Myselves looks forward to this stage of development though "it's going to be an interesting technical challenge to bring the images along with the live audio - all fun though !".
