Self described as an indie-rock band for the weary masses, MAN LEE is based in Brooklyn, formed by way of I-95. Songwriters and namesake of the band Sam Reichman and Tim Lee began writing together while living between Richmond, D.C, and Baltimore before finding their collaborators back in New York. Reichman’s vocals range from tight bedroom pop to wailing vibrato depending on the required level of interplay with Lee’s ever-fuzzy guitar expressions. Their lyrics conjure the openness of Cibo Matto and the blunt charm of CAKE.
On their collaboration process, Reichman says “We had always been writing our own music, but it wasn’t until we got together that we found our footing. Whether we’re physically in the same city or apart, we are constantly tossing new ideas or phrases back and forth until something sticks. Writing music is one of the only ways to quiet my mind and I think Tim feels the same.” Drawing inspiration from all manner of relationships, MAN LEE’s music touches on themes of expectations of self and of others. With a blend of psychedelic, art rock, and pop influences, MAN LEE’s sound is both expansive and neatly familiar.
