Description
“Future Sons & Daughters” is a tantalizing glimpse at a promising future – pop. Recorded and produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields), the record represents the full flowering of AM’s singular gifts: from the warm, sepia shaded hooks of album opener “A Complete Unknown” (with its addictive ‘Back and Forth’ refrain) to the soaring vocals and softly picked guitars of “Darker Days”.
AM didn’t make the album alone, however: “The band really delivered on this album”, he says. “Before we got together to go over the songs I made everyone in the band a hand-picked playlist of everything I had been digging on in the last year: obscure Italian soundtracks and Brazilian music, psychedelic Turkish folk, deep cut soul and groove.”
AM’s debut album, “Troubled Times” (only released in the US), was named one of the best indie albums of the year by iTunes (2006), and every song from the record was culled for use in American movies and TV shows, such as ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters” and MTV’s “The Hills”.
