Exclusive track premiere of ‘Give Me Time’ by A.M. Boys, taken from the upcoming album, ‘Distance Decay’, June 3rd.

Brooklyn’s A.M. Boys (House Of Blondes), well-seasoned multi instrumentalists/producers/engineers, are back with a new single/lyric video! John Blonde and Chris Moore met at an Aphex Twin listening party and A.M Boys were born. John is an electronic musician and songwriter who releases solo music as Muscle Club. Chris Moore is a record producer, engineer, mixer, and electronic musician who releases solo music such as Light Vortex and a variety of other aliases. As a producer and engineer, Moore has worked with TV on the Radio, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Scarlett Johansson & David Bowie, Foals, and Osees.

“‘Give Me Time’ started as a live improv during an after-party at our recording studio, Glowmatic Sound. Chris’ beat got everyone moving. I had lyrics in a journal and they fit well into the groove right away. I think it’s a song about resilience and patience. When we recorded the album version, I added the final lyrics. I had recently read a short story by Truman Capote that inspired a line in the second verse. Specifically to A.M. Boys, as long as we stay curious we have everything”. John Blonde

“Like many of the songs on ‘Distance Decay’, ‘Give Me Time’ started life as a 20-minute-plus jam. A few weeks later, we went back into the studio and recorded a new version that expanded on the best parts of the original jam”. Chris Moore

‘Distance Decay’, the shimmering debut album from American electronic duo A.M. Boys, focuses on an intimate and minimal approach to instrumentation. The album’s ten original songs juxtapose rippling rhythms with melodic synth lines and ethereal vocals. The album was written during darkly lit late night jam sessions with analog synthesizers, drum machines, space echo and voice. These sessions were influenced by post-punk and cold wave, along with the duo’s revered trinity of Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, and Prince. (Sub one of these for Throbbing Gristle on a rainy night.)

The recording process was deliberately pared down to allow the duo to recreate the songs during live performances. This minimal approach yields an album that develops an emotional resonance with each listen. “We knew we didn’t want to layer too much, we felt that the songs sounded stronger with less. A lot of modern music can be fussy and cluttered, we wanted to present the music simply, gaining a transparent power,” Blonde explains.

‘Distance Decay’ was written and recorded by A.M. Boys at their studio, Glowmatic Sound, in Brooklyn. Moore mixed the album, additional vocal recording was done by Jeff Berner at Studio G, and Steve Fallone mastered the record at Sterling Sound. Blonde shot the cover photo and designed the group’s logo.

‘Distance Decay’ is a term describing the pattern of criminals committing less crime the further they travel from their homes. The duo can personally attest that this pattern exists.
