An immersive ambient electronic album that captures emotional complexity with unflinching honesty, and comes highly recommended.

Atmospheric waves that resonate deeply

A collection of ten deeply melodic and emotive ambient/synth pieces, A.M. showcases the incredible talent of Los Angeles-based Miguel Fierro (aka Single Cell Orchestra). Composed over several years, the album opens with the reflective beauty of “SOMA” and is followed by “Earthbound Atom Bomb Heart,” a track that surges with grand, atmospheric waves that resonate deeply in today’s unsettling world. Serving as both a soundtrack for life and a journey into the past to make sense of the present, tracks like the tranquil “Auto Dream Radar,” the closing “80s Bucket List,” and the throbbing pulse of “N Judah” are living, breathing entities, embracing us like a comforting blanket in the coldest of winters. This is an immersive ambient electronic album that captures emotional complexity with unflinching honesty, and comes highly recommended.

A.M. is available on Bandcamp.
