Editorial Reviews
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 forth 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.

The fusion of 70s groove and electronica on this album is fantastic. With AM's knack for a sunny pop song now complemented with Shawn Lee's creative percussion tracks, this album shows what a great match these two musicians are for each other. Every contribution by one is enhanced by the other to great aesthetic effect. And there are some truly stunning moments here. Lead single "Dark Into Light" is a great example of this as the song closes with floating guitar lines and synths swirling around AM's gentle voice and Shawn Lee's clever percussion building into a fury. The album stays this brilliant from front to back. Even the cover of "Jackie Blue" sounds funky and fresh.

Found these guys on KCRW after I missed the live broadcast of Thievery Corp. I watched their live show (check it out!) and dug it enough to download their album. It will grow on you and pretty soon you won't be able to stop listening to it... It's a solid album and quite refreshing to find in an era of garbage. They remind me a lot of Beck... with maybe a little Shuggie Otis sprinkled in.

I was driving in Irvine, CA listening to KCRW 89.9 and they AM and Shawn Lee were in the studio playing the whole album. They have an almost retro 70s pop quality with a electro-psychedelic texture. I can't stop listening to it.
