Get ready to commit the Perfect Crime- The 14 Track Deluxe Edition of “The Perfect Crime” is now available for pre-order on iTunes. Find out what Margaret Cho, Darick Robertson, Direct Current, Larry LeBlanc, & The Key Philadelphia are talking about…. They’ve all fallen in love with your Perfect Criminals-

“…Perfect Crime is Perfect Bliss…and dazzles the listener with images of some great noir film you think you’ve seen. Funky and soulful, mysterious and alluring, the album’s narrative holds together throughout, weaving a sultry tale of seduction, personal empowerment and longing. It’s the perfect album for lingering in bed on a warm morning with your lover (or someone else’s).” - Darick Robertson – Creator / Illustrator, The Boys & Transmetropolitan

“In possession of a voice that’s part Billie Holiday smoky seduction and part coy pop vixen Gwen Stefani , Lee and her band swing, shake and strut their way through an evershifting melange of styles on their new album The Perfect Crime (February 28, Peak/E1), touching (and smashing through) alt/pop, jazzy, brassy soul and slow burning torch songs with unrestrained glee.{…}Magnolia Memoir keeps things sleek and playful — though you know there’s something slightly dark and demented lurking behind the smile, a ragged run in the nylons and a scuff or two in the patent leather pumps.” – Dave Curtis, Direct Current

Produced by Grammy Award Winner – Charles Goodan

Mixed by Grammy Award Winner Krish Sharma

Mastered by Grammy Award Winner Bernie Grundman

“…a captivating blend of the sexiness of jazz and the honesty of Rock” – Naomi Shavin, The Key Philadelphia

7 Minutes in Heaven with Jack McBrayer

We’ve had a great time visiting friends in New York City- Especially our friends at SNL. In addition to inviting us to the Saturday Night Live writers room and seeing fellow Cali Band “Foster the People” represent Live(which was a slice of heaven all by itself)-Friend Mike O’Brien book ended our two week visit with two installments of his web series “7 Minutes in Heaven” featuring two of our Heroes- Ellen Degeneres and Jack McBrayer. With a catchy little theme song by Magnolia Memoir trouble makers Mela Lee & Alex Burke (cue the Harp) we dare you to watch them only once- We’re awfully proud of our upcoming album, “The Perfect Crime” (due February 2012)- but we’d have to say being a part of this project ranks a close second. Mike- we can’t wait ’til you have your own show! You are fantastic.
