AM

Set for the album debut in May, New Orleans-raised AM & London-based groove master Shawn Lee hit the stage in L.A. on Monday to deliver the first live performance of their anticipated new material. 

AM's electro-soul twang got the industry's attention last year, with Spin calling it “distinctive melodic swagger,” but the majority of blogs haven't caught on yet.  In a few weeks that's sure to change as more ears hear this new and improved take on AM's already quality sound.

From AM's 2010 album Future Sons & Daughters:

AM - "Self Preservation"

The teaser single off the upcoming album is "Dark Light," sounding a lot like the gem I'd expect from fellow New Orleanian and Grammy Award-nominated Mute Math's next record.
