The second night I was staying at the hostel in Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye (this was the hostel where I met Kirstin) I was talking to this girl about a film she did for film school. She showed me parts of it (through the view screen of her camcorder) and while it didn't make too much of impression, the music she used in it did. One of the bands was The One AM Radio (at least I think this is the one). I tried finding it when I got home from Europe, but had no luck. About a week ago I happened to come across this album on eMusic so I downloaded. It's actually pretty good. It's all very slow moving stuff, lot's of drifting songs with sparse instrumentation and quiet singing.. It relies heavily on electronic instrumentation along with guitar and violin but doesn't come off sounding too electronic. Now, I'm not trying to put down electronica, it's a major staple of my musical diet, I just like the way this sounds. Nothing groundbreaking, I just really like it.
