"Violent Place" by Austrian dream pop outfit, Love A.M. feels like a collision of bedroom pop and art punk affections. I like the lovely guitar work and synthetic layers that feel very Beach House in tone but the big potent drums and more art post punk pushed potency of bands like Porches. It makes for a sort of dreamscape dynamism that feels surreal but organic in it's emotional gravitas. This is the very first time I have heard Love A.M. and what an absolutely engaging introduction. When the deep grooved musical breaks happen in sweeping ascensions of sound I am lost in a heady mix of imagery, of buttons pushed in my brain.
About the song: "we tell the story of a girl stuck under the spell of a pseudo-guru, from whom she cannot escape whatever she tries"
The accompanying video directed by Oskar Ott and produced by Floorislava feels like a trailer for a movie I want very much to see. "Violent Place" is from the band's upcoming first EP "Losing Sleep".
Love A.M. is David Plank (drums), Paul Pirker (vox), Matthäus Jandl (keys), Julian Melichar (guitar) and Lukas Schneeberger (bass).
