AM were another band that I found completely by accident, through Amazon's free downloads page. The song on there, Grand Opinion, was far from some of the pop clap-trap that can be found today, and it spurred me to buy the album. Fantastic choice.
The whole set up is certainly different. AM, which is confusingly both the name of the singer and the band, are non-conformist and fresh, but also maintain some pop sensibilities, creating an album which can quite happily be put on at a social gathering, but also yields much to the solitary listener. Their style has a somewhat French feel, light and airy, but occasionally rough and raw. To compare them with Air would be fair, but they have a certain je ne sais quoi that sets them apart from the French outfit.
If you have a broad mind and a passion for interesting music, AM will be right up you street.
