About
AMOR the new project by Fowler/Youngs sees the duo delving further into the history of dance music. Taking influences from pioneer disco remix artists such as Walter Gibbons or John Morales they substitute the more familiar disco arrangement in order to explore the sonority of acoustic instruments and extended song form. Their new hybrid form could perhaps best be described as a sort of “disco concrète instrumentale”.
Luke Fowler is a member of the groups Rude Pravo and Lied Music. He uses these platforms to consider the social significance of sound and investigates the use of analogue electronics and obsolete technologies. Richard Youngs has played with bands such as Astral Social Club, Concrete Hedge, No Deserts, Jandek and Future Pilot A.K.A. He now records for Ba Da Bing Records, his first album being Summer Through My Mind, and Glass Records Redux in the UK, the first Glass release being Inside The Future in December 2015.
