The One AM Radio is electronica music in very much the same way that Dntel is – firmly implanted in the indie rock scene but having the basic make-up that you expect from more traditional electronica artists. This short player seems to be a collection of remixes from the likes of Daedelus, Alias, Caural, and John Tejada among others. It’s a decent listen, good background music at the very least, even if some of the songs do run together. Hrishikesh Hirway, the man behind One AM Radio, has a voice somewhat similar to Sam Beam of Iron & Wine, and in fact most of this material is so mellow if you replaced the electronic aspect with acoustic guitars you’d probably think it was the latest Iron & Wine release, a good quality for an album to have as far as I’m concerned.
