American Motors releases new album Functional Music hear “No Horses”
The underground rock scene is buzzing with a heavy, ominous sound, and at the center of this sonic assault is the trio American Motors. Having already made a compelling debut in 2024, the band is back, signaling an appetite for more scraping, pounding, and deeply unsettling music.
Their latest offering continues the band’s commitment to raw, visceral sound. For fans waiting for the next dose of sonic darkness, the announcement of their forthcoming album, Functional Music, slated for release in November, promises to be an intense experience.
The making of this new material involved a high-caliber session, as the band once again retreated to the legendary Magpie Cage studio in Baltimore to record with the esteemed J Robbins. This session wasn’t just about capturing notes; it was about forging a truly unsettling atmosphere.
The rhythm section, in particular, is a standout. Drummer Alex Steward brings a unique intensity to the recording, delivering a thwack that is described as extra viscerally impactful, grounding the entire experience in raw energy.
The track “No Horses” is already generating buzz, and it highlights the band’s signature blend of heavy, atmospheric rock. This recent work has already found its footing, with the announcement of the new album Functional Music appearing on Stereogum.
