Although things have been pretty quiet over the last few months, we've finally finished our debut EP 'Future Protocol'- and we're very excited to let you know it's going to be coming out February 20th. Here's the second track: "Stranger Lover" featuring Guthrie Galileo. Enjoy!

Stranger Lover (When You Came Into My Life)

"Precious Life", produced with drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, Yeasayer, Atoms For Peace), is the new album title from Los Angeles songwriter AM. The drumming is raw, a treat for fans of Waronker’s playing and “Precious Life” captures sonically what it’s title suggests. The record is intimate, up close…even the groovers. You’re hearing the details clearly and, hopefully, appreciating the sensation.

Returning from an ultra-prolific period with electro-soul partner Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra (AM & Shawn Lee project), AM summons a dreamy sound on his new solo outing. With Waronker behind the drums and the board and with AM doing just about everything else on synths, bass, and guitar, the two carefully craft a record that is honest and emotional, yet swings and pulses. Music made for the headphones...the big ones that is.

Phantasmagoria Pt. 1

and so the feeling that we had I know
it was a feeling that is fleeting, no?
in my heart, in my dreams, in my eyes
I feel, you know, it was

said in the dreaming hour,
I wasn't feeling quite right

you never had a chance

in the dreaming hours
i feel my heart inside in my heart

here we are at last 
images so strange
they'll take your breathe away
oh yes the midnight hour is fleeting
when lashes start to beating
i take, i dream, i know, i do

you you you never had a chance

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.
