    Somebody Like You Lyrics

    don’t you know that i need somebody

    need somebody like you

    don’t you know that i need somebody

    need somebody that’s true

    it’s a miracle you need someone

    you need someone too

    cuz i know that i need somebody

    need somebody like you

    and you know we all need somebody

    need someone to make it through

    in the end we all leave somebody

    so love someone until you do

    • ]]>     “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.

    • ]]>     “…intricate and groove-filled dreamscapes that are every bit organic and every bit mad genius…”
    - Daytrotter

    AM & Shawn Lee’s live Daytrotter session available for free HERE.

     

    Hearing their album, “Celestial Electric,” is like starting out at the snowstorm and trying to track the paths of a dozen flakes all at once, realizing that your eyes are splitting into dozens of directions, but it feels good to be doing it. It’s getting out into the weather, letting it envelope us and feeling what cold, but warmed up cheeks feel like, how they’re working extra hard and are mostly getting the job done, not letting any of the cold sink in too much. AM and Lee have perfected a collaborative musical relationship that brings about these intricate and groove-filled dreamscapes that are every bit organic and every bit mad genius, these guys knowing exactly which buttons to press on everyone to get them to respond in kind to a piece of music. It’s a swarm of bees and bullets, hot wires, hot feet, soft features, bare legs, tops down, expensive drinks, sun burns, wind burn and a gratifying sense that it’s all coming together into a chuggable brew. We keep our lips to it and sip it instead, savoring the everything qualities of it.

    • ]]>     “Moins Kitsch qu’Empire Of The Sun, plus black que Phoenix: du soleil, de l’amour et du sexe en barre”
    - Eleonore Colin, Tsugi Magazine France Celestial Electric Album Review January 2012

    English Translation: “Less kitschy than Empire of the Sun, blacker than Phoenix: some sun, some love, and some sex in a bar.” Tsugi Magazine

    Album Review:

    It’s winter, people are quiet and have hearts that are a little chilled. A magic trick! In 44 minutes of pure electro-soul coolness, AM & Shawn Lee invert the seasons, time, and space and drop us into some part of California during the ‘60s and ‘70s. In 2010, AM (American indie-pop songwriter who toured with Air) heard a song by Shawn Lee (Londonian producer known for his collaborations with Jeff Buckley or Money Mark) on the radio and contacted him right away via Myspace. A cyber-friendship formed around a common love for old-school synths, funk, soul, and styles of Schifrin or Morricone. Two meetings later, Lee draws his old 4-track and records a string of complex rhythms. From the other side of the Atlantic, AM layers his coarse angelic voice, guitar, synth, ukulele, percussion, glockenspiel, vibes, Moog Taurus pedals…on top of the scorching hot bass and starry vocals. Celestial Electric collects sprinkles of psychedelic-soul-pop without nostalgia. Less kitschy than Empire of the Sun, blacker than Phoenix: some sun, some love, and some sex in a bar.
