RELEASE DATE
4/19/2005
This is the second release from the London/Düsseldorf trio comprised of vocalist/guitarist
Luke Sutherland
(
Long Fin Killie
,
Bows
,
Mogwai
), programmer/keyboardist
Volker Bertelmann
(
Tontraeger
), and bassist/synth player
Stefan Schneider
(
To Rococo Rot
,
Tarwater
). Following last year's debut album
A Heart and Two Stars
(QS 154CD), Music A.M. continue to create cascading delicate sonorities over shuffling topographies. Slow countrified vibes, methadone doo-wop for disco misfits, swan songs for ex-swingers, are set alight by deep-blue bass chords, whispering whirlpools of guitar and burbling micro-funk. Even the surf licks and pop twists have a wistful and wintry abandonment. It features five songs originally recorded during the
A Heart...
sessions that have been recently reworked, suspended, and melodified by the band at their Düsseldorf studio, culminating in a blissful 20 minutes that highlights Music A.M.'s love and affinity for the in-between moments of avant-pop. While the arrangements and minimal rhythms create a mood assuredly warm and embracing, Luke Sutherland's vocals oscillate between earthbound narration and sparkling voyages into the spheres. This is the sound of summer receding. Music for a world in which all that's left is longing.
