AM delivers holiday music with his new EP Holiday Happiness & Cheer. Included is a beautifully haunting rendition of Vince Guaraldis Christmas Time Is Here (from the classic animated television Peanuts Special A Charlie Brown Christmas) complete with moody bossa influenced guitar, creepy synth work and McCartney style bass lines. Also included is an original song I’m Home For The Holidays, a spacious orchestral folk song that focuses on the somber elements of holiday time.

If you caught New Orleans raised, L.A. based mustachioed indie artist AM 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 “AM & SHAWN LEE” debuting the new album Celestial Electric 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’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 “best live shows of the year”.

Celestial Electric 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’ abiding love for all manner of vintage genres, encompassing pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.

Celestial Electric’s sleek, boundary-pushing approach is reflected on such uplifting tunes as the insightful generational anthem “Dark Into Light,” the bittersweetly soulful “City Boy” and the hauntingly intimate “Can’t Figure It Out,” which merge irresistible melodicism with deeply distinctive grooves. Elsewhere, “The Signal” demonstrates the duo’s penchant for exotic, eclectic arrangements, suggesting an ’80s Bollywood synth-pop dance party, while the swaggeringly funky instrumental “Callahan” (named in honor of Clint Eastwood’s ’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’s irresistible pop sensibility also drives their effervescent reading of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils’ 1974 hit “Jackie Blue”.

AM & 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’s full archived live performance for KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.

AM & Shawn Lee On Tour With Thievery Corporation

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:02:56 +0000

AM & Shawn Lee Announce West Coast Tour Dates

Opening As Special Guests To Thievery Corporation

Debut Single out July 19

New musical collaboration AM & Shawn Lee are announcing tour dates supporting Thievery Corporation. Their debut single Dark Into Light will be released on July 19 on ESL.

The collaboration of the AM & Shawn Lee musical project started after AM heard Lee’s music on the radio in Los Angeles. After reaching out to Lee, the two became quick friends, sharing a similar love for vintage grooves and ’60s and ’70s soundtrack music. The pair decided to record together after AM played guitar on a few of Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra shows (including KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic”) in the summer of 2010. Lee, armed with a four-track and other vintage tape machines in his London studio, started sending AM drum and percussion beats in December. In Los Angeles, AM wrote and recorded songs over the grooves, adding guitars, Casio synths, vocals and occasional bass. Lee added more instrumentation such as bass, keys, guitars, glockenspiel and other assorted instruments and they emailed back and forth until each was happy with the mix.

They each documented their process through photos, emails and videos and they will be posting a series of “Building The Track” videos that document the behind the scenes recording process in London and Los Angeles, as they get closer to the release date for their debut album Celestial Electric on September 6. The first behind the scenes video is for their debut single “Dark Into Light” see: http://youtu.be/k5C58Ch523U .
