American Wrestlers - American Wrestlers

Review by Kate Solomon

None of the songs on the album are super complicated and that gives it an air of ease.»

American Wrestlers, the alias of an as-yet-unnamed Scottish-born, Missouri-based artist releases his debut album on Fat possum. Now based in Missouri, the Scotsman's journey is something of wonderment. Born and raised in Glasgow, he then found his way to Manchester where he recorded some demos under a different name and posted the songs online. It was then that his now-wife first got in touch and after becoming enraptured with one another, he moved across the Atlantic to get married. The move to Missouri saw American Wrestlers take form, recording in a tiny, remote house on a Tascam 8-track and "the cheapest pawn shop instruments [he] could afford.". Think old Grandaddy or early Death Cab for Cutie.
