A.M. Architect is a side project of Diego Chavez AKA Aether216 and Daniel Stanush of the Panic Division. Their press release describes their sound as being based in jazz, hip-hop, and organic ambient music. Their debut album, The Road to the Sun, features a mixture of Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, pedal steel, field recordings, and more.
The lead track, Unspoken, reminds me of the first time I heard Air's Moon Safari album minus the vocals of Beth Hirsch. Glitchy beats that sound like brushed drums, Fender and guitar play a repeated melody that could be best described as "jazz lite". Upon feels as though it would have fit in with the less erratic but still overtly psychedelic moments of Caribou's Milk of Human Kindness.
Not quite emotionless and cold, but also not fiery in its' delivery The Road to the Sun has a perfect release date of April 2008. Be sure to listen to it before the ridiculously humid summer ruins the mood.
