Pre-Order Naïm Amor Twelfth Studio Album

Like many musicians worldwide, Naïm Amor was working on the tracks for a new album when Covid hit and sent the recording and live music worlds into hibernation. And also like many, when he emerged he did with a finished record ready to be released into a music-hungry world. For Stories, his twelfth record since the mid 2000’s, the Parisian born and raised, long time Arizona resident Amor has crafted six instrumentals and three vocal numbers. While Stories may perhaps seem like an offbeat title for a record with several instrumental tracks, it’s also indicates what’s within; it’s raison d’etre is a cinematic approach to music making, one crafted to evoke images and feelings, unlock corners of known and unknown worlds, and yes, to tell stories; with or without the narrative of a human voice.

For fans of The Black Keys, Black Midi, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Nels Cline, Edwyn Collins, The Cramps, The Fleshtones, Richard Hawley, King Krule, La Luz, Los Straightjackets, Man or Astro-man?, JD McPherson, Messer Chups, The Meteors, Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Shannon & The Clams, The Sonics, The Surfrajettes, Surprise Chef, Tijuana Panthers,The Tremolo Beer Gut, Whatitdo Archive Group, Jack White, and Link Wray.

ARTICLES ABOUT FORT LOWELL RECORDS' 2014 RELEASES

2014 was a very busy year for our lil' ol' label.  Not only did we undergo transitioning from Tucson AZ to Raleigh NC, but we also managed releasing four full length albums: La Cerca Sunrise for Everyone, the Good Graces Close to the Sun (a split release with our friends at Potluck Foundation), moyamoya moyamoya, and Naïm Amor Hear the Walls.  We are very thankful for all of the hard work each artist put into making these fantastic albums.  But we are also thankful for all of the media attention these records received collectively; it truly does help inform people about these great musicians - which is one of our main responsibilities and reasons for doing what we do. 
Below are links to all of the articles / posts written about these four artists / releases from 2014.  We hope you enjoy catching up on some reading!

GET TO KNOW NAÏM AMOR, A LITTLE MORE

Arizona Public Media has put together a fantastic video titled Art Dads, that features our own Naïm Amor with his son, Lucien, along with other Tucson artists (and dads), Tom Walbank and Donovan White. It is a wonderful documentary that gives insight to how these very special and talented artists balance their unique careers with the responsibilities of fatherhood. Not only does the video feature Naïm Amor's music, but it also provides a great insight into Naïm Amor himself. Enjoy!



And if you would like to learn even more about the Parisian Tucsonan, Naïm Amor, and his personal guitar obsession, we invite you to watch this documentary about Amor, titled Used Guitar.

NAÏM AMOR IS IN DA' HIZZOUSE (THAT MEANS "HOUSE," MOM)

The test pressing for Naïm Amor's Hear the Walls is in, and we could not be more excited!  Naïm has been one of our favorite artists from Tucson, AZ, ever since first settling there in 2006, and it is truly an honor to now have the opportunity to be the first to hear his latest recording on vinyl record before anyone else.  Hear the Walls is potentially Naïm's greatest work to date, and we are looking forward to presenting this album to you on October 28th.  But for now, we have to make sure that the centering is accurate with the pressing, and that there are no surface noises.  Stay tuned!  (Many thanks to Rainbo Records and Golden Mastering!)
