Ambient Den is an Australian progressive rock band formed in Brisbane. The band consists of Ben Craven (guitars, bass, vocals), Tim Bennetts (keyboards, vocals), and Dean Povey (drums, vocals).[1] Following the release of its debut self-titled album in 2025, the group received coverage from several international progressive rock publications.[2][3]
History
Ambient Den formed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period.[4] Originating from informal jam sessions between Ben Craven and Tim Bennetts, they were later joined by drummer Dean Povey, expanding the project into a three-piece.[1]
The band's name, Ambient Den, is an anagram of the members' first names: Ben, Tim, and Dean.[5]
Musical style
Ambient Den's music blends progressive rock and space rock, characterised by extended instrumental passages, atmospheric synthesiser textures, and melodic guitar-driven compositions.[3] Reviewers have drawn comparisons to classic 1970s progressive rock artists such as Pink Floyd and Genesis, noting the band's emphasis on cinematic structure and cohesive epic compositions.[5][3]
