Sun of Amen (New LP)

With his indie breed of country/folk-rock, Alex Amen makes his ATO Records full-length debut with ‘Sun of Amen’: a body of work that opens a space for sustained and quiet wonder, offering up songs touched with both magnetic ease and extraordinary beauty. Last year, with only a handful of singles to his name, the Texas-born / Brooklyn-based artist landed on the lineups to tastemaking festivals like Pitchfork London, Newport Folk, and Austin City Limits.
