Kentucky crafted sour mash soul.
A.M. Sunday came together to be a permanent fixture on your scene. Just as their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky is the junction for roads from music towns like Chicago, St. Louis, and Memphis, A.M. Sunday is the intersection where meet Aretha Franklin, Talking Heads, James Brown, and The Clash. It's indie rock on a collision with west end soul. It's rhythm and blues by ex-punks playing 9th chords - just don't call them a funk band. Watching the band take the stage, you'll know that A.M Sunday is new breath for the old scene. An A.M. Sunday show is a family affair, the interplay generous and song-driven, with members sitting out on tunes and trading instruments. At the each turn, vocalist Suki Anderson holds court, wooing the righteous and sinful alike. Darrick Wood's soul-bound rhythm guitar is the banquet's centerpiece, balanced in delicious fashion by Mauriece Hamilton's full-on vocal swing, and Mark Hamilton's Eno-esque guitar textures. The Sly Stone-meets-Police drop of Ray Rizzo and Matt Scobee round out the scene, sending rhythms straight to the small of the back. It's time to be moved. Electronic, drum and bass, and dub styles are at work in the music of A.M. Sunday, but collectively the members are reaching back for the golden vibrations they discovered when a twist of the a.m radio dial first brought the intimacies of rhythm and blues into their imaginations. The seduction of "Lighthouse" and the 3.a.m. jazz of "Mary's Song" show a band steeped in the subtle side of soul, while the hot butter workouts of "Sexy Feast" and "Bohdissatva Brown" guarantee the party will be going all night. Turn the dial and bring yourself to the junction where people from every neighborhood in your town are getting together to get down. |
