We say
AM, a New Orleans-raised but LA-based artist, released his US debut Troubled Times in 2006. Every song from the record was used in US movies and TV shows such as Brothers & Sisters and MTV’s The Hills. His first UK album Future Sons & Daughters was released on Naim Edge last month to acclaim from some quarters, with Q Magazine describing him as 'a rare talent'. The Sunday Express gave him a 5* review, praising the record, produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields), as 'an album to fall in love with'. This year has seen AM tour North America with Charlotte Gainsbourg and AIR. He is currently touring the UK with Train and plays a headline London show next week. This, the next single scheduled for early next year, is evidence of the pleasing blend of styles on an album that proves to be a rewarding listen.London gigs: October 25, Shepherd's Bush Empire W12 (w/ Train - sold out) / Oct 26, Water Rats WC1 (headline show)
