The Sky Is the New Ground

Release Date: October 15, 2002

These four songs were originally slated to be part of AM/FM's third full-length, but oddly enough ended up fitting together very neatly as a concept EP about an astronaut.

The EP builds on AM/FM's dense pop arrangements -- adding huge guitar symphonies and string arrangements to create a fully fleshed-out sound.

AM/FM disbanded before completing its next album, making this release the band's last musical output.

Reviews

  • If the four songs here are any indication asto where AM/FM is heading then youmight want to lift your head to see if you spot these two up in thestratosphere.

    - GhettoBlaster
  • When the electric guitars kick in halfwaythrough the song, you feel like you are in a John Hughes movie and you just gotthe girl or boy; as you're walking down the street, the camera zooms in andyou've got just the biggest, most hopeful grin smacked on your face.  Yeah, it's that good... Get this EP and gettheir next record. If it is anything like TheSky is the New Ground, it will be stuck in your player for weeks.

    - All Music Guide
  • For the most part this EP follows in suitwith the duo's pop-rock arrangements, but the use of symphony like stringarrangements has created an opaque wall of sound that really makes this bandstand out.

    - Modern Fix
  • Sure, there's a "Space Oddity"thing about it, but it's four songs and damned if it ain't a blastoff.

    - Magnet
  • Sokol is given the chance to show off hisfinely tuned songwriting skills, while both of the guys stack layer upon layerof clever instrumentation to create a warm and pretty pop sound.
