Ahmond

Add Date: February 10

Artist: Ahmond

Album: A Boy You Once Knew

Label: Self-released

Genre: Chamber pop

Comments: Brooklyn singer Ahmond blends lush guitar, strings, simple melodies and African rhythm on this chamber-pop album. "Everything Eden" reminds me of the Magnetic Fields in a way (perhaps the drama of the strings) while the catchy "Go to Africa" calls to mind Paul Simon or Toto.
