<p>ABOUT: AM &amp; Shawn Lee&#8217;s CELESTIAL ELECTRIC marks the launch of a timely transatlantic musical partnership from London to Los Angeles.  Celestial Electric sounds now, blurring funk, pop, and “world music” genres beyond their established capabilities, yet remaining so true to a classic aesthetic that the album could be dug out of a crate without a label and confound listeners to pinpoint its origin.</p>
<p>Under The Radar described the album as &#8220;unadulterated soul vibes and funk tempos filtered through ’70s soundtracks&#8221;, Rolling Stone calls it &#8220;hypnotic&#8221; and CMJ says &#8220;the pair has created a densely layered, carefully curated and occasionally moving paean to the past, specifically the warped global-psych-rock of the ’60s and smooth singer-songwriters of the ’70&#8242;s akin to Broken Bells, the more high-profile project between James Mercer of the Shins and Danger Mouse.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong><em></em></strong>If you caught New Orleans raised, L.A. based mustachioed indie artist <strong>AM </strong>paying his dues last year opening for AIR and also Charlotte Gainsbourg in the U.S. and Canada, and also any other number of musical icons such as Caetano Veloso, you won’t want to miss him headline his new musical collaboration mysteriously entitled <strong>“AM &amp; SHAWN LEE”</strong> debuting the new album <strong><em>Celestial Electric</em></strong> on tour now which was just released on Limited Edition gatefold vinyl in November by Eighteenth Street Lounge (www.eslmusic.com). The band has been touring as support for Thievery Corporation, co-headlining with Fool&#8217;s Gold,  and headlining their own shows to great reviews with comparisons to MGMT, Gary Numan, Beck, and Broken Bells. The Seattle Weekly proclaimed them one of the &#8220;best live shows of the year&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>Celestial Electric </em>finds L.A.-based indie-pop auteur AM and London-based groovemaster/experimentalist Shawn Lee (winner of Best Original Video Game Score for Bully and better known for his project Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra on Ubiquity Records) pooling their talents to create seamless indie pop perfection, while mining a startlingly broad array of stylistic influences.  The resulting blend of heartfelt, warmly melodic songcraft and vivid, inventive soundscapes underlines the artists&#8217; abiding love for all manner of vintage genres, encompassing pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the &#8217;60s, &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s.</p>
<p><em>Celestial Electric&#8217;s</em> sleek, boundary-pushing approach is reflected on such uplifting tunes as the insightful generational anthem &#8220;Dark Into Light,&#8221; the bittersweetly soulful &#8220;City Boy&#8221; and the hauntingly intimate &#8220;Can&#8217;t Figure It Out,&#8221; which merge irresistible melodicism with deeply distinctive grooves.  Elsewhere, &#8220;The Signal&#8221; demonstrates the duo&#8217;s penchant for exotic, eclectic arrangements, suggesting an &#8217;80s Bollywood synth-pop dance party, while the swaggeringly funky instrumental &#8220;Callahan&#8221; (named in honor of Clint Eastwood&#8217;s &#8217;70s cop anti-hero Dirty Harry) conjures up a bracingly atmospheric vibe a la Lalo Schifrin, while adding a dollop of futuristic electronic melody.  The twosome&#8217;s irresistible pop sensibility also drives their effervescent reading of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils&#8217; 1974 hit &#8220;Jackie Blue&#8221;.</p>
<p>AM &amp; Shawn Lee documented their recording process in Los Angeles and London through photos, emails, and behind the scenes studio videos. You can now check out the band&#8217;s full archived live performance for KCRW&#8217;s Morning Becomes Eclectic.</p>

<p><em>Celestial Electric</em> finds L.A.-based indie-pop auteur AM and London-based groovemaster/experimentalist Lee pooling their talents to create a unique brand of electro-soul that achieves seamless pop perfection, while mining a startlingly broad array of stylistic influences.  The resulting blend of heartfelt, warmly melodic songcraft and vivid, inventive soundscapes underlines the artists&#8217; abiding love for all manner of vintage genres, encompassing pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the &#8217;60s, &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Celestial Electric</em>&#8216;s sleek, boundary-pushing approach is reflected on such uplifting tunes as the insightful generational anthem &#8220;Dark Into Light,&#8221; the bittersweetly soulful &#8220;City Boy&#8221; and the hauntingly intimate &#8220;Can&#8217;t Figure It Out,&#8221; which merge irresistible melodicism with deeply distinctive grooves.  Elsewhere, &#8220;The Signal&#8221; demonstrates the duo&#8217;s penchant for exotic, eclectic arrangements, suggesting an &#8217;80s Bollywood synth-pop dance party, while the swaggeringly funky instrumental &#8220;Callahan&#8221; (named in honor of Clint Eastwood&#8217;s &#8217;70s cop anti-hero Dirty Harry) conjures up a bracingly atmospheric vibe a la Lalo Schifrin, while adding a dollop of futuristic electronic melody.  The twosome&#8217;s irresistible pop sensibility also drives their effervescent reading of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils&#8217; 1974 hit &#8220;Jackie Blue&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The debut album, <em>Celestial Electric</em>, from the new band project creatively titled &#8220;AM &amp; Shawn Lee&#8221; was released on Sept. 6 on ESL.

<p>You can now check out the band&#8217;s full archived session for KCRW&#8217;s Morning Becomes Eclectic <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=pnx9fkcab&amp;et=1107627338449&amp;s=0&amp;e=001PVQEXVuWdRYaR3soEUzNEIF6mQib85zKx9ARlsFAxbuLDDrb6F-H8xtNSPmzVtobtx8G1u_Up-pHKieON_l-vgBw6zlxgzEliOSQAPVNK3hfr1lpHHjzxokDCq4akaKG_4zvHn4yQgo83XJQVSs5Bf7796bDp3AAHOfavQCbh8QdFjqqBip40Z_otIQozPnG3tsRAkzr4Eo=">here</a>  &#8212; AM &amp; Shawn Lee also recently compiled an exclusive 20 minute mix for Sirius Satellite Radio&#8217;s Chill channel which will be airing throughout the next week.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Celestial Electric</em> finds L.A.-based indie-pop auteur AM and London-based groovemaster/experimentalist Lee pooling their talents to create a unique brand of electro-soul that achieves seamless pop perfection, while mining a startlingly broad array of stylistic influences.  The resulting blend of heartfelt, warmly melodic songcraft and vivid, inventive soundscapes underlines the artists&#8217; abiding love for all manner of vintage genres, encompassing pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the &#8217;60s, &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Celestial Electric</em>&#8216;s sleek, boundary-pushing approach is reflected on such uplifting tunes as the  insightful generational anthem &#8220;Dark Into Light,&#8221; the bittersweetly soulful &#8220;City Boy&#8221; and the hauntingly intimate &#8220;Can&#8217;t Figure It Out,&#8221; which merge irresistible melodicism with deeply distinctive grooves.  Elsewhere, &#8220;The Signal&#8221; demonstrates the duo&#8217;s penchant for exotic, eclectic arrangements, suggesting an &#8217;80s Bollywood synth-pop dance party, while the swaggeringly funky instrumental &#8220;Callahan&#8221; (named in honor of Clint Eastwood&#8217;s &#8217;70s cop anti-hero Dirty Harry) conjures up a bracingly atmospheric vibe a la Lalo Schifrin, while adding a dollop of futuristic electronic melody.  The twosome&#8217;s irresistible pop sensibility also drives their effervescent reading of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils&#8217; 1974 hit &#8220;Jackie Blue&#8221;.</p>

<p>The musical collaboration of AM &amp; Shawn Lee has resulted in a unique brand of electro-soul that achieves seamless pop perfection, while mining a startlingly broad array of stylistic influences.  The resulting blend of heartfelt, warmly melodic songcraft and vivid, inventive soundscapes underlines the artists&#8217; abiding love for all manner of vintage genres, encompassing pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the &#8217;60s, &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s.</p>
<p>Shawn Lee is best known for his Shawn Lee&#8217;s Ping Pong Orchestra project and as the composer of the Bully Video Game soundtrack and Ubiquity Records collaborations with Clutchy Hopkins, Princess Superstar, Money Mark, and Bei Bei and more.  Shawn&#8217;s music has appeared on TV shows, movies, and commercials including Lost, Ugly Betty, and CSI.  AM spent last year touring as support for AIR in North American and France, and also on tour with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Caetano Velosoo, and Josh Rouse.</p>
<p>AM &amp; Shawn Lee documented their recording process in Los Angeles and London through photos, emails, and behind the scenes studio videos. The first behind the scenes video is for their debut single &#8220;Dark Into Light&#8221; see: http://youtu.be/k5C58Ch523U  Additional behind the scenes studio footage of the the song &#8220;Spin It Around&#8221; see here: http://youtu.be/gBlnr2FcNcM .  The upcoming album Celestial Electric coming out September 6 on digipack CD, digital, and limited edition gatefold vinyl with artwork by Andy Votel.
