Austin, TX natives AM Syndicate formed in the spring of 2004 when Omar Chavez, Vin Durcan, and Golfball got together to create their own brand of jangle-y, cavernous indie-pop. Liberation is AM Syndicate's second full-length album. Although the band has modern influences like Blonde Redhead and Neutral Milk Hotel, they do not betray their roots and draw in aspects of Simon and Garfunkel and even New Order. This musical synergy creates an accessible sound both reminiscent of late-70s England, as well as their Austin home.
