Is Bows over? I see this news about a new Music AM record and I am not thrilled and I know the danish singer has a new band too. Although the reviews for his new book make me think i will enjoy it more than the first two. ---

MUSIC AM
my city glittered like a breaking wave
Following on from last years debut album 'a heart and two stars' MUSIC AM continue to create cascading delicate sonorities over shuffling topographies. The mini album 'my city glittered like a breaking wave' is the latest excursion from the London/Düsseldorf trio 4and sees Music A.M. in playful and brooding mood. Slo-blo countrified vibes, methadone doo-wop for disco misfits, swan songs
for ex-swingers, are set light 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 blissfull 20 minutes that highlights Music A.M.'s love and affinity for the in-between moments of the 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.

Keith, I take it you've heard the 1st Music AM album? I almost bought it last week (as a big ol' fan of Long Fin Killie & Bows, more the former than the latter).

I actually really love that first Music AM album, so there ya go. Looking forward to this new thing.

it was alright, it was just too sedate for me. i'd rather he'd go on with bows as it was far better than the music am record butmaybe this one will be better, it just doesn't seem to have his imprint on it almost as if he's just a guest on the record.
