Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.

-Arthur Schopenhauer

“Resurrect Sexy ’60s Psychedelica”

August 30th, 2011 — 12:02pm

ALBUM REVIEW: “Celestial Electric murmurs lightly over the psyche, a lyrical ghost of somber regrets highlighted by the classic ’60s and ’70s swinger-era retro Italian psychedelica, Brazilian tropicalisimo, Serge Gainsbourg-era yé-yé style vocals, and the glittery crackle of modern electronica.”

“Celestial Electric is a masterful symbiosis of decades worth of soundtrack music, the sexy underbelly of many vintage genres, and the keen, experimental musicianship of AM and Shawn Lee.”- Nadia Noir

Dark Into Light is Seattle’s KEXP’s Song Of The Day

What they say:

“The resulting pool of creative inspiration blends influences from pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s into a melodic blend of electro-soul that would make even the most hardened hipsters bob their heads. Today’s featured song, “Dark into Light,” most immediately calls to mind a more upbeat Thom Yorke, with a grimy bass over light percussion and gentle but empassioned vocals, strung together with gliding synth swirls and pads.”- Nick Heinlein, KEXP

New album Celestial Electric coming soon.
