AM Shawn Lee is a collaboration between London-based multi-instrumentalist/producer Shawn Lee and Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter AM. After listening to Lee's 2004 album Music and Rhythm: Ubiquity Studio Sessions, Vol. 1, AM contacted Lee and the duo quickly discovered a shared love of various '60s and '70s sounds, including Brazilian tropicalia, psychedelic-tinged soft rock, Italian film music, and more. A long-distance songwriting partnership developed online, with the musicians sending tracks and ideas back and forth. In 2011, AM Shawn Lee released their debut full-length studio effort, Celestial Electric, on Thievery Corporation member Rob Garza's ESL (Eighteenth Street Lounge) label. Two years later, they returned with the '70s and '80s analog synth-infused La Musique Numerique. In 2015, AM Shawn Lee released their third album, Outlines, which found them taking inspiration from the funky, atmospheric world of stock '70s U.K. library music recordings. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
