The Felix began as a
studio project for two lifelong friends in Manhattan.
That's what it sounds
like. There are a lot of the synthesizers and remixing that you get with one
person tooling around in the studio, and a moody style that is very young and
sophisticated and Manhattan.
That sounds like
criticism, but as The Felix is, it works. The music is perfectly pleasant to
listen to, and the hook from "Coming Back" lingers. That lingering is
helped by the band's eight tracks containing three versions of the song, but
some of it is musical quality.
My main problem is that
altogether none of it amounts to much. I listen, and it's fine, and other than
remembering a refrain from a song I have now listened to at least eighteen
times, it hasn't meant anything to me.
It does to them. Based on
their write-up, these are songs about personal feelings, and creating with your
friends is great. However, to recommend the music, I would need to hear more
depth. For what I hear, I recommend them if you like house music that you can't
dance to.
