It took them six months to record and release the debut Misery Loves Company. It came to be in Thorben's bedroom with a few sets of rules: Record only at night. The only light source could be that of candles. Consumption of alcohol was integral. And lastly once anything was recorded it could not be changed.

However Brooklyn had struck a deep chord with the guys, and 18 months later they moved back. A rebuilt factory loft is where they lived and recorded their second album overseeing the magnificent Williamsburg Bridge. The following six months had only one rule: Record only things found within the four walls. This is how two dictionaries came to be a kick drum, and vocal chords came to remedy the lack of synths.

Named after their Brooklyn address 421 Wythe Avenue was released through PonyRec in April 2009, and like its predecessor it also received critical acclaim. AFM turned into a collective followed by Kristine, Gustav and Laurids.

Last year, their third and most renowned album Let This Be The Last Night We Care, was released in Europe, USA and Japan. Two new additions -- Anders and Morten -- became part of a busy touring schedule, consisting of shows and festivals all over Europe and the US.

  • Not only are the lyrics of this song amazing, but the music video is beautiful. You can't escape life. And for a moment, when he thinks he has, his smile is so blissful, so real. I teared up.
