Amamelia - The Joy Of Living (Vinyl)
Amamelia is the musical project of Amelia Berry (she/her), a musician and songwriter from Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) who is currently based in Naarm (Melbourne).
Her debut WOW! was shortlisted for the Best Independent Debut award at the 2021 Taite Music Prize and Berry took home the Favourite Solo Act Award later that year at the inaugural Student Radio Network Awards. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences, including Yellow Magic Orchestra, Virginia Astley, and LTJ Bukem, Amamelia’s second album Bananamelia! led her to win Te Manu Taki Tāhiko o te Tau (Best Electronic Artist) at the 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards.
In 2026 Amamelia announces her new album The Joy Of Living will be released on April 17 on Vinyl LP and digital formats. Award winning electronic composer Amamelia invites listeners to take a deep breath, be present and appreciate the never ending cycle of life & death. The album is a joyous cacophony of big squelchy synth melodies (like the ones you’d find on a junk-shop Moog record) boops, beeps, echoes, delays, fuzzed out guitar solos and field recordings. The Joy Of Living features appearances from Amamelia’s frequent collaborator Madison van Staden (Van Staden & Bohm, Yarn) along with Carla Camilleri ((cc)tv), Moe McGlashan (Bandicoot, FIMO), Hannah Renwick plus Sunreturn label mate Baby Zionov.
Let The Joy Of Living remind you of the feeling of the warm sun on your face, the smell of fresh cut grass and the love of friends and family.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
