The One AM Radio
The One AM Radio is the musical project of Hrishikesh Hirway, a composer and songwriter from Los Angeles. The One AM Radio's sound is often characterized by Hrishikesh's lush, soothing vocals over dream-like instrumental arrangements. He does most of his own recording, playing several of the instruments and producing all the beats; the style borders electronica, folk, post-rock, chamber music, and ambient music.
Born in Massachusetts, Hrishikesh began The One AM Radio while a student at Yale University, where he studied art and film. After moving to Los Angeles, the project expanded to include new bandmates Scott Leahy and Fontaine Cole.
The One AM Radio's second album, A Name Writ In Water, was named by Time Out New York as one of the top 10 albums of 2004. A set of remixed tracks from that album was put out as an ep in January 2005, entitled On the Shore of the Wide World. The EP was the #1 download in iTunes' electronic genre for 3 weeks upon its release, and stayed in the top 10 for another 3 weeks after that.
