"for me, being creative is a natural bodily function, like breathing and eating," shawn lee says from his london studio as he reflects on the whirlwind effort and inspiration he experienced in developing his latest album, synthesizers in space. it began at a music store called switched on in austin, tx and the discovery of a vintage 'mystery-box' instrument hidden amongst the old synths and organs that created sounds and textures unlike anything currently in his sonic arsenal. the result was a focused attack in the studio, creating a set of 11 new tracks based around the 'mystery box', and a range of psychedelic grooves. synthesizers in space is a diverse, densely layered collection from a musician known for his ability to blend sunny melodies, smoky grooves and propulsive rhythms into his own inimitable sound. 'aj's mood' opens the set with a subtle, bongo dominated pulse with hesitant bass and sparse keyboard accents; 'head up' is an epic party-starter complete with fatboy slim hooks and block rocking beats; while 'boogie children (saturn day night')' channels the spirit of t rex with a cracking glam rock pulse, phat bass guitar and a salacious vocal from special guest earl zinger.
