Started by two high school friends from Queens, NY in 2005, The American Dollar creates cinematic, electronica-tinged instrumental postrock. The duo fuses processed drums, spacious keyboards and powerful organ swells with electric guitar and bass, creating deep sonic textures while maintaining the passion and energy of a live band. The swirling soundscapes build and swell, punctuated by glitchy beats, breathing and expanding into crashing guitars and soaring leads: precisely constructed symphonies for a new era.

[me]Yay!!! The best thing to start a new year. New album by ambient / post rock duo The American Dollar. Enjoy!

"Using drums, keyboards, guitars, and various other percussion instruments, John Emanuele and Rich Cupolo weave richly textured melodies in between cascades of drums, synths, and sparse organ notes, creating a sound that puts them on par with bands like The Album Leaf or Explosions in the Sky. Whether a track contains a lush, ambient-interlude feel or a sweeping explosion of chords, emotion runs high on this disc." - Jennifer Marston, XLR8R

"EVERY song on this cd is different, interesting...each song evokes an emotion that's introspective, artistic, and again, this isn't a rock record, it's more an art piece, background music, or a film score, but don't misunderstand that reference, this cd is still cool as shit!" - Rock and Roll Experience

[me] Yay! I Love this band. Finally the new album is out. Try it! And then, BUY IT IF YOU LIKE IT !!!
