Lee: navigating by stars is the first solo album from Lee Takasugi, lead singer and songwriter of the Los Angeles-based indie band, Visiting Violette. Five years in the making, this album began in The Cave recording studio owned by actor/musician Billy Bob Thornton. Seven songs were produced by Grammy Award-winning engineer and producer Jim Mitchell (Warren Zevon, Guns N' Roses), Takasugi and her two principal band mates, Glenn Suravech (aka Mosaic) and Shin Kawasaki. The second half of the album was recorded at Groove Masters Studio, owned by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Jackson Browne. There, Takasugi teamed up with co-producer and engineer Bil Lane (Jakob Dylan, Brett Dennen). The end result is a compilation of 15 songs, rich in acoustic warmth and storytelling depth.
