For the Shawn Lee feature, it will be necessary to wait for April 9^th, the release date of the disc which already promises to fill our ears with 18 announced tracks, to transitions that seem more worked on the CD version. In the meantime, you have the opportunity to hear about the financial campaign launched via PledgeMusic by the Londonian in order to give body to his second collaborative LP with the Californian AM, a pair that has already achieved recent success with Celestial Electric.

In order to do this, a single address but multiple possibilities. There will be something for all budgets, from a simple preview download to financing entire tours by acquiring a lot of personal items, such as Shawn Lee’s famous tiger mask (yes yes) or a track composed for you and given the name you choose– Louna, one of the personalized songs issued during the campaign for the preceding opus, listen via the small integrated drive on the left of the page, will find itself on the new album.

Note that 10% of the money collected will go to Echo Park Animal Alliance, a community that helps abandoned pets and other endangered birds.

To end, the next French dates for AM & Shawn Lee, while waiting for their return to Europe expected in September if your investments permit them:

24 avril : Club Silencio (Paris)
26 avril : Printemps de Bourges
27 avril : Nouveau Casino (Paris)
