The Blessings (nod Navigators / Lucky Me)

This is a superb double pack! The tracks resonated immediately down here when we first heard them - fresh, bright and wonderfully synthetic. It's the fusion we like! MASSIVE TIP!

American Men are a three-piece synthetic rock band formed of Claude Speed, Alilloyd, and Scottt Chevrolet - members of Dananananakroyd and other obscure Glasgow Rock bands.

Here is a sound like no others - uplifting, driving synth music accompanied by tightly-syncopated live drums. Their debut release, Cool World features 5 shimmering tracks being hyped across a span of rock and electronic genres. These guys represent a new tone for the often dry scene of math & post-rock, but then this is not a band who are singularly satisfied with their genre. True to the form of the LuckyMe label, these guys are inspired by commercial electronic music and pop as much as avant rock. Cool World is prog' for a generation raised on Boards of Canada and short attention spans - evoking childhood visions of the future, laser etched nazca lines, a city of pyramids and modernist skyscrapers.

This is fun, clever, cinematic music playing with time signatures without losing its bright optimism and danceability.
