about
SALES is an indie pop band hailing from Orlando, Florida. The band was established in the United States and comprises two core members: Lauren Morgan, responsible for vocals, guitar, and programming, and Jordan Shih, handling programming and guitar, who also releases music under the name JSHIH. For live performances, they are joined by Malcolm Martin, who takes on the role of the live drummer and percussionist. The band operates independently and initiated their musical journey with the self-release of their debut 7" single "Renee/Tonka Time" on December 1, 2013, via Bandcamp. Following this, their debut EP emerged in September 2014, with their inaugural album following suit in April 2016. The formation of SALES occurred in Orlando, Florida, where long-standing friends Morgan and Shih had been collaboratively recording music over the years. Their present project, SALES, accentuates vocal and instrumental improvisation, as well as the incorporation of sampling. One of their notable singles, "Chinese New Year," was introduced on January 31, 2014, coinciding with the Chinese New Year. This track garnered favorable attention from music blogs such as CMJ, Stereogum, and Pigeons and Planes.
