Biography
Austin TX's AM Syndicate captures a light of innocence in a landscape consumed with vices with their second full-length release. Indie-pop, folk, or whatever you want to call it doesn't matter; there is only one way to truly describe this album: amazing. "Liberation ...creates a sense of freedom and fun, like when you were in middle school and danced around the room with your hands up in the air." - Covert Curiosity
LIYL: BELLE & SEBASTIAN, BLONDE REDHEAD, ZERO 7
A&C LOVES: My Friend The Sleep Walker (The Cowbell Song), Hang Your Fears at the Door and Join Your Future, and The Neighbor and His Wife
