AM & Shawn Lee

"...the ultimate Friday afternoon track." - Nylon

"...one of the best contemporary acts on the planet" - Ryan's Smashing Life

"AM & Shawn Lee totally killed this Joe Jackson cover." (track #12) - Death And Taxes

"...together they have a knack for crafting evocative mini-masterpieces" - All Music (4.5/5 Stars)

"...mixing up the decades with 80's digi-reggae, 70's soul, and haunting Casio keyboards." - Rolling Stone

AM & Shawn Lee kick off their U.S. tour in Portland June 13th to bring us their second full length LP La Musique Numérique: a sun-filled, space funk masterwork with hints of disco, soul, and reggae blending early digital technology with decade blurring songwriting transporting listeners deeper into the sonic crates from which the music was born. However these out-sound influences aren't plugged into a computer program and spit out through modern day micro technology. The instruments are played, the vocals are sung and the songs are written, proving an even stronger connection to the past.

Album lead off "Two Times" introduces a Sleng Teng Riddim influenced sex groove complete with unexpected synth jabs and smooth soulful vocals while a rendition of Joe Jackson's 1982 hit "Steppin' Out" sees the new wave classic taken deeper into the cosmos. La Musique Numerique's interstellar journey takes you in and out of faded memories of disco, funk, soul and reggae but never sets foot on any of these planets; never colonizes one style. It is, in effect, pure AM & Shawn Lee.
