Whilst working on a second album with London-based collaborator Shawn Lee, AM is currently adding the finishing touches to his next solo project, produced by Joey Waronker. Reputed for his eclectic combinations of sounds, and a fondness for retro aesthetics, the LA DJ/composer introduced the upcoming record by releasing a couple of days ago a sweet cover of Harry Nilsson’s song Me And My Arrow. Truly faithful to the original, he re-recorded it with Waronker, softly picking up the repetitive melody and lyrics of Nilsson’s 1971 folk tale with a subtle Krautrock beat. Adding a little groove to a lovely song, and nothing more, it’s an intimate, touching homage to the American songwriter. You can catch AM & Shawn Lee on tour at The Satellite on August 24th. – Tracy Mamoun
