Eldritch, literate chamber-pop business from the UK's own Felix, new on Kranky. Originally the solo project of Lucinda Chua, Felix has become a two-piece since the release of 2009's well-received You Are The One I Pick, with Christopher Summerlin now contributing atmospheric guitar treatments to the brew. Though deeply atmospheric, this is definitely one of the more direct, reverb-light releases in the Kranky canon, with Chua's beautifully modulated vocals - not to mention her elegantly expressive piano and cello parts - coming through crystal clear in the mix. If you dig things like Peter Broderick, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Joanna Newsom, Sharon Van Etten and Trembling Bells, then check this out, it's a really accomplished and at times incredibly moving album which deserves to be widely heard.
