Young Gun Silver Fox - Ticket To Shangri-La
Released 21st October 2022.
SK says: "The seasoned duo of Andy Platts and Shawn Lee deliver their strongest album yet as Nichol Thomson's ebullient horn lines elevate YGSF's fourth long-player into the stratosphere. "Tip Of The Flame" nods to Ned Doheny's dancefloor ready acoustic funk while "Rolling Back" recalls Hall and Oates at their hitmaking peak, and on "Sierra Nights" Platts conjures Don Quixote through the prism of America-esque west coast AOR."
Andy Platts and Shawn Lee need no introduction, having each clocked up a lifetime of musical brownie points, whether through Andy’s career as a world renowned composer and singer/songwriter/guitarist with British soul sensations Mamas Gun or through Shawn’s esteemed work as a producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer which has placed him at the forefront of the global soul and funk community.
The duo’s fourth studio album “Ticket To Shangri-La” showcases a band at the very top of their game, fine-tuning their potent brew of sun-kissed pop-soul, west coast AOR and natural groove with a skill for composition and production that sees them forging ahead down a musical highway blessed with blue skies and positive vibrations. For both participants, the chance to make a new record together is always a liberating experience, as Andy explains; “I always come back to Young Gun Silver Fox like taking a drive to the coast and I just smell the ocean and the air and it’s like ‘wicked I’m back here again’ and I can just kick back and enjoy it.”
The chemistry and craftmanship on “Ticket To Shangri-La” means that Young Gun Silver Fox do exactly as the title suggests, transporting the listener to a magical, mythical world of sunshine and good vibes, a musical and spiritual ethos born from the minds of two gifted musicians that stands as the embodiment of all they do best, whilst providing the perfect invitation into their unique world.
