Watch Amble's 'Church Bells' Video
(Warner) Internationally celebrated Irish folk trio Amble return today with the gorgeously reflective single "Church Bells," a song about the complexities and comforts of being home.
The evocative track is taken from their highly anticipated second studio album Love And All Its Wares - due January 29 on Warner Records - continues a long line of poetically resonant and musically rich songs that have won them an audience of openhearted listeners around the globe.
The new song arrives as Amble prepare to embark on their most extensive North American tour yet, kicking off in Phoenix, Arizona, on October 22 and wrapping up in Dallas, Texas, on November 18. The entire run nearly sold out months in advance.
"Church Bells" is at once tender and assured, Robbie Cunningham, Oisin McCaffrey, and Ross McNerney unfurl gently plucked melodies accompanied by their extended live band across an array of instruments. Cunningham's warm tones find both comfort and concern in the overdriven mirth of a loved one: "You're laughing louder than the rest, your laugh it sinks into my chest / Your laughter lights up the room, the sun is burning out of tune."
The accompanying music video was directed by Irish filmmaker and photographer Ellius Grace and shot in McCaffrey hometown of Enniscrone, and tells a story of connection and compassion in the midst of quiet internal struggle. Cameron Tharmaratnam and Caitríona Williams act opposite one another as - true to the song - the visual depicts a lost character finding his way back home through the arms of a loved one.
"The video is about the cyclical nature of this man's life, and how he dissociates and gets lost in his head even when he's around the people he loves," Grace says. "His girlfriend is the one who can see what's going on, and is the one who can pull him back to reality. It's about the ways that we can isolate ourselves with the things we have going on inside, and how we can be helped by those around us if we let them in."
Last month, Amble announced their second studio album with the impassioned "Last Rites," an ode to finding peace amid the chaos of a life fully lived, which arrived alongside a video starring Seamus O'Hara from Netflix's House of Guinness. Produced by Philip Weinrobe (Big Thief's Adrianne Lenker, Billie Marten, Theo Katzman), Love And All Its Wares will also include the platinum-selling and recent Irish No. 1 single "The Swell."
The eagerly awaited set marks a major sonic evolution for Amble as they build on the simpler, dream-like quality of their chart-topping 2025 debut album, Reverie, to forge a bigger sound built to explore a wider spectrum of emotionality. Themes of love and idealism are paired against the exhaustion of a non-stop touring schedule and an unpredictable existence on the road - which continues.

Amble's massive 2026 included extraordinary experiences that includes their first American television debut on the The Kelly Clarkson Show, performing at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, where they made the live debut of "The Swell" followed by their main stage debut at Bonnaroo Festival, plus a string of stadium dates w/ Ed Sheeran and Dermot Kennedy.
2025 was equally rewarding as Amble toured U.S. arenas and stadiums with Hozier, sold out every date of their own headline shows (130,000 tickets), and released Reverie, which held #1 on the Irish charts for multiple weeks, giving Amble the biggest Irish debut since 2018 and becoming the country's most streamed Irish LP of the year with over 359M global streams. Songs like "Lonely Island," "Mary's Pub," and "Schoolyard Days" have become beloved fan favorites. Critical praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, and Stereogum and so many more ignited an ever-growing global fanbase.
Before last year was out, Amble released their Hand Me Downs EP and, in December, headlined three sold-out nights at Dublin's 3Arena, playing to the biggest audience of their career at the time. Since then Amble have moved on to headline arenas and stadiums on their own culminating in their recent headlining of Ireland's prestigious Electric Picnic Festival. Check out Live From Dublin II, which confirms Amble's reputation as one of the most endearing and engaging live acts on the planet. Their incredible songcraft and their fans' intensity are on full display.
With Love And All Its Wares, Amble are stepping fully into the promise they've sewed.
