on random colored vinyl - We are so honored to release two tracks off the latest album from Young Gun Silver Fox. This was one of our top albums of 2018 and we get to take two choice cuts - “Take It Or Leave It & Mojo Rising” and get it on a very special Soul Step Records release.
The forces behind Young Gun Silver Fox are Andy Platts and Shawn Lee. It was inevitable that two of the UK's most prolific and versatile pop music linguists would one day collaborate on a studio project that crystallized many of their creative strengths. The authentic hybrid of styles is further steeped in the fact that Shawn, the team's silver-haired Silver Fox, is an American who resided in LA for seven years before relocating to London. "Andy understands the classic melodic pop side as well as the soul funky side that was absolutely vital to the creation of this music. What a voice!" The admiration is mutual. "A lot of people today can claim to be ‘multi-instrumentalists’ but Shawn truly is a multi-hat-wearing-cat," says Andy, the Young Gun of the duo. "Musically, his ear and ridiculous encyclopedic musical brain continues to floor me. Some of the music he generated on this album was so special I really had to dig deep to do it justice in a songwriting sense."
This is a great 45 to spin over and over and over. Young Gun Silver Fox doesn’t dismiss the term yacht rock when describing their 45 with Soul Step Records. This 45 has 70’s SoCal infused pop rock that recalls Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates to a modern day Mayer Hawthorne.
