Australian duo Hamjam dropped off the radar for a little while. You may remember their 2014 track “Love,” but they’re back with a new single from their forthcoming LP a/s/l?.
When they’re not writing together, Hamish Rahn (Ham) and James Ireland (Jam) tour the world with fellow Perth troubadours Methyl Ethel and Pond respectively. Hamjam's sound draws on their vast musical experience, fusing psych and electronica, with a healthy pinch of West Coast soul.
Their debut full length, a/s/l?, is an earnest and unassuming collection of tracks that muses on feelings of inadequacy, unrequited love and insecurities. Steered by synths that exhilarate on certain tracks and dazzle on others, the band’s hazy instrumentation conjures thoughts of warm summer nights and the thrill of being young, naive and little lovelorn.
