Synopsis

Album Description

"...AM takes equal parts of classic Americana, folk-rock and pop, and melts them down into something entirely his own, and he does it with two things money can't buy: imagination and taste. These sturdily built pop songs are graced with ingeniously colorful arrangements and have that 'instant classic' thing stamped all over them..." LA Weekly

CD Reviews

Perfect acoutic-based pop for those closet Duncan Sheik fans

Kenneth E. Knox | Los Angeles, CA United States | 09/20/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you were a fan of Duncan Sheik tunes like "Barely Breathing," then AM's splendid debut (produced by Sheik's team) will be right up your alley. AM's acoustic-based pop is right up there with that great Sheik single from the early '90s, but there's much more to this music than one-hit-wonder infamy. Check out his beleagued blues on the lovely ballad "Running Away" or his uptempo positivity on tracks like the Weezer-esque "City Syndrome" and his first single, the infectious "Mainstay." Tunes like "Troubled Times" show his softer side, but it's AM's uncanny ability for writing perfect acoustic-pop hooks and his soothing voice that really sell this wonderful debut record. Many of you haven't heard of him yet, but if he keep churning out tunes like these, then trust me: You will."
