Little sweetheart, Deux Anges was given the most lovely review recently in the UK’s rather legendary music zine, “The Sound Projector”. I think I forgot to mention it here.
Written by its editor and founder, Ed Pinsent, it's very thoughtful and fulsome in its praise but I think what I liked most about it was how he recognized you, little sweetheart, as the very center and soul of the band, saying: "the (absent) main member of the band is Summer Serafin. This was Michael’s partner who died nine years ago, and since then it’s been Michael’s mission to keep the project (and her memory) alive, mainly by drawing on his personal archive of recordings of Summer’s vocal tracks..."
A further excerpt is below. As ever, little sweetheart, it’s all for you. With all my love forever.
"The group continue to deliver their unique brand of very understated guitar-pop with subdued vocals, hazy ambient melodies, spoken (or rather whispered) word recits, instrumentals - some enhanced with field recordings. All of 'Deux Anges' is steeped in a very wistful melancholy, a poignant longing. Lyrics emerge as a form of prayer and we continue to find allusions to the afterlife, heaven, angels, mortality, ghosts, miracles… and compassion, empathy, and hope. At two CDs and three hours, there’s also a lot of it to listen to, but BPX never outstay their welcome with their unassuming tone and the gentle, lulling pull of their mesmerizing songs."
