New York based outfit Amos Ender have shared their debut album ‘Into The World Of Man’.
The project is spearheaded by Joshua Klevorn, a soul who puts very facet of his being into creativity. Merging left-field ideas with pop aspects, his songwriting taps into an old school indie ethos – think The Strokes at their peak, or even Franz Ferdinand – while injecting this with fresh energy.
Co-conspirator AJ helps balance the project, with Amos Ender winning fans across a flurry of quick-fire singles.
Emphatic debut album ‘Into The World of Man’ is out now, an eight-tracker that confidently builds on their early promise.
With those initial recordings going viral, Amos Ender opted to take their time, recalibrating their ideas in the process. ‘Red Suitcase’ is a rich, atmospheric opener, with ‘The Gun’ and ‘Warm Glow’ displaying the group’s maturity.
Built across a five-year period, the album hinges on an Interlude, before surging to its conclusion with ‘Tailspin’, ‘Fuel’ and the marvellous ‘Belt’.
The group discuss the album…
‘Into The World Of Man’ was initially born out of a few rushed demo releases made under self-imposed pressure to “just get some music out there.” However, it didn’t take more than a handful of shows before I realized these tracks still needed work – a lot of work.
Much of what was still in my head whenever I heard these songs had not made its way into their performance. Parts that seemed great in the studio fell flat before an audience. And there was no overarching narrative that could begin to tie all the disparate ideas together.
Five years (and dozens of revisions) later, I am proud to release ‘Into The World Of Man’. Propelled by the beginning themes of Amos Ender’s history and relentlessly restructured to match the level of theatrics and emotion I strove for in every live performance, this album offers a glimpse of what Amos Ender might become if given the chance to tell his tale.
Tune in now.
