“New year, new favourite record.”-Monocle Magazine Review UK

Their good reps precede them (but just in case: habitual five-star solosits and soul-pop aficionados with shelf-bending vinyl collections). So how will they fare together? Like that vinyl, this is a thing of taste, depth, grooviness and something that feels like its’s been around forever that mixes soundtrack leitmotifs, Eastern psychedelia, heart and soul. New year, new favourite record.

“The AM & Shawn Lee collaboration has a lot of analog synth texture to it, which always sounds great on vinyl, but there’s also a heavy singer/songwriter vibe–Nilsson meets Gary Numan Uptown?” - Turntabling

los angeles show review

www.amsounds.com — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:25:52 +0000

“The level musicianship is beyond impressive, it’s fascinating. It isn’t something you see too often these days. A pretty common question I get is, “what’s the last great show you saw?” I have a feeling that the combination of AM, Shawn Lee, Brett Bixby on keys and Pete McNeal on drums will be the answer for a long time.”- Audio Absinthe
