New Music: You Am I
YOU AM I TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL
YOU AM I clear a new path that see’s them turn The Clash’s dream of Complete Control into a reality. Taking control of it’s destiny, with a new record in hand YOU AM I have rethought how it releases records in a music industry that is endlessly evolving.
With a careers worth of experience in hand YOU AM I can see how a combination of indie upstart, direct to fan and experienced consultant will provide them with the best connection to their fans, because that’s what this is all about right.
The much-loved four piece have written and recorded their most sonically adventurous album to date.
“Although we’ve had a strong, affectionate, intelligent relationship with EMI for our past two LP’s, the making of this record has been such a unique, bewildering, exciting experience that the band has decided to formalize a release with a hand picked crew that we’ve spent more than a few early hours pontificating about what we love about being in this band, and creating music. After almost 20 years of making records, we found ourselves bursting at the seams with energy, and the people at our new team understand our need to dive in headfirst and get fruity.” – Tim Rogers
YOU AM I are the flagship signing for fast rising Sydney indie Other Tongues and through that, find distribution with the artist friendly team at MGM.
“It’s a thrill to be working directly with one of this country’s finest-ever bands, and one of my personal faves, and at a time of such profuse creative growth for them” – Nick Pontikos, Other Tongues
The new album is a riveting address to the nation. Produced by ARIA Award-winning engineer Greg Wales and mixed by James Cadsky, the album was recorded over various sessions, studios, and combinations to create the band’s most well-woven and expressive record yet.
The band has assembled a crack team for the project, enlisting Footstomp Music’s Graham Ashton as a consultant. Publicity is spearheaded by Other Tongues’ Kym-Louise Barton, together with long time press officer Jo Wilson and The Right Profile’s John Zucco.
The bands self-titled record ‘YOU AM I’ will be released Oct 8.
Fingers crossed that the band will follow with a comprehensive headline tour!
