YOUNG GUN SILVER FOX’s upcoming fifth album, ”Pleasure”, sees the West Coast / Yacht Rock duo of British singer songwriter Andy Platts and American multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee continuing to mine their love for the breezy, sunny, roof-down strains of ‘70s California pop-rock-soul, channeling the likes of the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Pablo Cruise, Ned Doheny and others.
After four releases with both members laying down ideas in their own studios and emailing files back and forth, this time Shawn traveled to Andy’s studio in Norfolk, England where they wrote and recorded ideas from scratch, with half of the album’s 10 songs coming from these in-person sessions.
The result? YOUNG GUN SILVER FOX’s most organic, complete album to date. Fresh, elegant, sooth music especially designed for this summer.
With a rapidly growing U.K. and European following, Young Gun Silver Fox are starting to make a mark on these shores, having just concluded their largest U.S. tour to date in 2024, with sold out headlining shows, and dates supporting the Black Pumas both here and across the pond.
Other fans of the band include composer Hans Zimmer and ELO’s Jeff Lynne.
For these two musical kindred spirits, the chance to make a new album together allowed them to return to a sacred space. “I always come back to Young Gun Silver Fox like taking a drive to the coast,” said Andy. “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.”
