Living Room (AJR album)
Living Room is the debut studio album by the American indie pop band AJR. It was self-released on March 3, 2015. The album was written, produced, and mixed by the three members of the band: Adam Met, Jack Met, and Ryan Met.
The album's title, Living Room, reflects the environment where the band created much of their early music, literally within the living room of their New York City apartment. The songs often explore themes of youth, social anxiety, and the complexities of modern relationships, characterized by AJR's signature blend of ukulele melodies, electronic influences, and complex vocal harmonies.
Notable tracks from the album include "I'm Ready," which gained significant popularity after being featured in a commercial, and "Infinity," which showcases the band's eclectic sound. Living Room established many of the musical trademarks that would become associated with AJR's subsequent work, providing a foundation for their future success. While not an immediate commercial success, Living Room is considered an important part of AJR's discography, representing their early artistic vision and DIY approach to music production.
