AM

Indie rock
Indie rock

AM is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of The Flaming Lips, Wilco, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Jorge Ben and The Byrds. Those roots explain a lot about how AM arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Maria Taylor, Stephen Malkmus, Matthew Sweet, Milow and Five for Fighting, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Shawn Lee, Jehst, Buddy, Duran Duran and Air, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around AM, reaching back through The Flaming Lips and forward to Shawn Lee.
