New!  AM's new album PRECIOUS LIFE is out May 20!

The transatlantic duo AM & Shawn Lee continue their journey forward via the past on their album Outlines, digging heavily into obscure soul, sound library and soundtracks for inspiration and re-imagine them through a pop lens.  AM & Shawn Lee focus heavily on synthesizers, but still keep the core organic, with live drums and bass and of course placing a heavy importance on groove.  

Sonically Outlines tips it's hat to other synthesized soul productions such as The System or The Blackbyrds . 

The first single "Persuasion" sets up the album perfectly with a revolving, atmospheric synth pattern suddenly interrupted by a deep funk groove peppered with staccato vocal stylings.  "Cold Tears", a heartbreaking tale of a friend's false imprisonment, flows over galloping funk and sinister synths.  "Again and Again", perhaps the epitome of sparse groove, is a perfect mid-tempo cruiser and a clear nod to AM's past tour mates AIR, while "Nightshine" delivers demented aerobic pop...picture Olivia Newton John's "Physical" set to a John Carpenter film.

The album title Outlines plays on a double meaning.  On the one hand the record sounds like a "trace", giving no more than necessary to the production...the essentials.  Lyrically, there is an undercurrent of an all too familiar modern struggle...the failure to communicate.  We're only giving each other shorthand… “the outlines.”
AM & Shawn Lee's musical and artistic chemistry is very obvious especially since they have never recorded in the same room together.  The duo trade tracks between London and Los Angeles until they feel the songs are complete.  The process is ego-less, and both AM and Shawn Lee play nearly every instrument on the record. 
Outlines is by far AM & Shawn Lee's favorite recording to date.  Minimalist, future soul re-worked for today, but never forgetting what came before. Above all the music just soars. …Like hang gliding into a summer sunset.


Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
