| BIO:: |
Started by two high school friends from Queens, NY in 2005, The American Dollar creates cinematic, electronica-tinged instrumental postrock. The duo fuses processed drums, spacious keyboards and powerful organ swells with electric guitar and bass, creating deep sonic textures while maintaining the passion and energy of a live band. The swirling soundscapes build and swell, punctuated by glitchy beats, breathing and expanding into crashing guitars and soaring leads: precisely constructed symphonies for a new era.
Now enough of that junk i copied from last.fm! The music these guys make is instantly accessible, and fails to grow old. My first interactions with them were related to stocking my distro with their first 3 full lengths, and i could tell they were cool cats. Ever since that first interaction, my secret plan was to get them to team up with Arms and Sleepers for a split release. A little over a year later, that secret plan has come to fruition, and without any tinkering on my end! I'm pumped that this thing came together, and excited to be working with some of the most laid back (not to mention fun-loving) guys. If there is one thing these guys love it is fun! A couple of fun-lovers, these two!
From The Inland Sea is available on CD direct from the respective bands, and the vinyl version (containing a bonus track of collaborative material from both bands) will be available right here on ericrock in the 1st half of 2010. JUMP ON IT!
