AM & Shawn Lee - Celestial Electric - out on Eighteen Street Lounge Music

Tuesday 06 September 2011, 12:59

AM and Shawn Lee Celestial Electric
AM & Shawn Lee - Celestial Electric
(CD/Digital) Eighteen Street Lounge Music ESL184, 2011-09-06

The L.A. to London, transatlantic musical collaboration between AM and Shawn Lee was conceived after AM heard Lee's Music And Rhythm album on the radio in Los Angeles and reached out to him via email. The two became quick friends sharing a love for vintage grooves and 60's and 70's soundtrack music and decided to embark on making an album 21st century style. With AM in Los Angeles and Shawn Lee in London the two began bouncing tracks back and fourth resulting in Celestial Electric; a musical match made in cyberspace propelling the duo into their best work yet. AM's honeyed vocals ride a driving percussion section straight into walls of shimmering guitars and glassy keyboards pulling elements as disparate as Gary Numan, Jorge Ben, and Ariel Pink into perfect future pop.

Clutchy Hopkins - Walking Backwards

Clutchy Hopkins Walking Backwards
Clutchy Hopkins - Walking Backwards
(CD/2xLP) Ubiquity Records URCD221, 2008-02-05

Info :
This album might as well be the crackly soundtrack to a vintage spaghetti western crossed with a '70s porno. Rickety breaks n'beats and busted keyboard sounds pop out against lush strings, while a collection of guitars and mandolins strum alongside old-school synthesizers. It's an eerie blend of dusty-bar blues, mariachi soul and hard times funk that sounds like it was recorded in a backyard shack somewhere remote, in a small town where kids throw stones at each other for fun. Features Darondo, Todd Simon and Shawn Lee.

Tracklisting :
01. Sound Of The Ghost
02. Song For Wolfie
03. Love Of A Woman Feat. Darondo
04. 3rd Element
05. Para Los Ninos
06. Horny Tickle
07. Percy On The One
08. Rocktober
09. Alla Oscar
10. Good Omen
11. Swap Meet Me At The Corner
12. Last Time For Your Mind
