Artist:	FELIX
Title:	You Are The One I Pick
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 139CD

"Felix is the musical duo of Lucinda Chua and Chris Summerlin, who make their home in England. The focus of the album is Lucinda's askew stories, and the subtle conversation between her piano and the guitar accompaniment of Chris Summerlin, an intuitive discussion that speaks volumes by not saying too much and never stepping on each other's lines. The songs themselves are delicate and spare chamber-pop. They are understated and deceptively simple, but deliver an emotional impact that mere decibels cannot. Lucinda's tales of woe concern the banality of domestic life, small animals, and the desire to keep the forces of the world at bay. You Are The One I Pick may be an album of small charms, but they come with a frequency rarely found, and are myriad in number."

Title:	Oh Holy Molar
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 165CD

"Oh Holy Molar is the second album from UK trio Felix. The group produces a bewitching, minimal chamber pop that works as the perfect framework for singer/songwriter Lucinda Chua's oblique and emotionally immediate stories of superstition and searching for protection against bad omens. As a follow up to their debut You Are The One I Pick, the band return with a collection of songs with a sound stripped back to its very core. Something is said to have 'teeth' when it has the ability to make an impact. This record certainly has 'teeth', and sharp ones at that. ' The album was recorded in a vast, spooky 1940s cinema in Nottingham, England, now converted into a studio. After recording was completed the band discovered that underneath the live room lay an abandoned Dental Laboratory. Oh Holy Molar indeed."
