The dark, melancholy dream-pop sounds of The One AM Radio came together in 1999 with vocalist Hrishikesh Hirway. He was a student at Yale and recorded several EPs with Ted Leo and the like. In spring 2000, he befriended another Yale student, violin player Jane Yakowitz, to contribute to a seven-inch he was recording for Trouble Unlimited. The two struck a chord, personally and professionally. Yakowitz joined Hirway for some live appearances and within a year, she was permanently added to The One AM Radio line-up. The Hum of the Electric Air marked the band's proper debut in July 2002.
