Editor's note

AC.jR & BradyJames, the LA duo with folk touches

Andrew Collopy and Bradley James started playing small shows in Los Angeles in the mid-2010s.

For a good sense of their sound, try "Vanity" with Matt Ngesa or the reflective "But Its For The Best."

Their 2018 single "Make Friends Not Money" gave them their first real break and led to their debut album "The Open Door." Songs like "Vanity" and "But Its For The Best" show their reflective, personal writing style, often featuring guest vocalists. They've maintained a steady output through albums like "This Is What We Are" and "Falling Apart Together," leaning into indie rock with folk touches.

They started working together in Los Angeles around the mid-2010s, playing small shows while figuring out their sound. In 2020, they faced a plagiarism accusation from a former collaborator, which resulted in a legal dispute. More recently, they've talked publicly about dealing with mental health issues while continuing to write and record.
