The American Dollar

The American Dollar started as a side project for the two friends in 2005, but the discovery of emotional cimenatic works- the kinds that range from ambient electronic passages to orchestral, full band climaxes- transformed this into their full-time passion. Their first finished composition as The American Dollar was "Everyone Gets Shot," and within a day of posting it around on the Internet, MTV immediately picked it up for its Battlegrounds television program.

Since then, the responses from listeners around the world have been very much the same. Their Last FM and MySpace are frequented by an enthusiastic, international fanbase that appreciates a wide variety of music. On February 2nd, 2009, their song "Thompson", from their self titled debut album, was featured in an episode of CSI Miami on the CBS Network.

"I haven't really viewed post-rock as experimental for quite some time, but The American Dollar's use of electronic undertones to craft very human responses (the programmed Casio beats on "Glow", the muted drum machine on "Long March") is an effective extension of the genre that hasn't been as prevalent as others, i.e. Mogwai's dramatic changes in volume, or the victory cry dynamics of Explosions in the Sky's guitar work." - Michael Britten, Inner-North Media
