Listen Now: A.M. Architect “The Road to the Sun”
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
I’ve always gravitated to the lyrics of a song before anything else. I can overlook poor or over-stylized production, as long as the lyrics get me. It’s important to know that upfront before you hear my latest obsession, A.M. Architect, a duo of electronica savants. Yes, I said electronica, see where I’m going with this?
A.M. Architect’s debut album The Road to the Sun is so far outside my comfort zone, a trip into the unknown, and I like it. Check that — I NEED it. It’s easy to get lost in the ambient beats, to let the music lead the way with soothing backbeats, guitar tinges, and the occasional hand claps. So if you’ve had as rough of a day (or last few months!) as I’ve had — sit back, press play — and let A.M. Architect take the reins.
