And listen to how spare and disciplined the guitar riffs are! Lesson number one: when the song is written, the players don’t have to show off, they just have to show up. Unlike our ubiquitous 21st-century beats, this is first and foremost a bass-and-guitar-driven groove. The physical nature of the construction gives “All the Love” a resplendence difficult to generate digitally. These guys may construct songs while thousands of miles apart-AM is a singer/songwriter in Los Angeles, Shawn Lee a London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer-but they’re building from genuine components as their press material puts it: “The instruments are played, the vocals are sung, and the songs are written.” It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it. But this one should stay in consideration, not only for its slinky, slidy beat, which patrols the razor’s edge between funk and disco, but for its honest, dare I say organic soundscape. Too early to nominate the Song of the Summer? Probably.
