From the press: Teaming up with French vocalist Aurélie Guinard, Nick Lewis has produced a stunning album. Opening with the title track, which pushes the wrong drum beats and guitar lines together like repelling magnets but somehow makes them stick, Angel In Ballet Shoes is an album that some great flair in its music, stripping back to the bare minimum of sounds. Aurélie herself has a voice that is both strange and beautiful; she sings softly, occasionally adding some unnatural noises, while on tracks like Drone and Tear From An Angel, Lewis cuts up and effects her voice digitally to use it as an instrument in its own right. To give you some points of reference, there are elements of Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps, PJ Harvey and Carina Round on Angel In Ballet Shoes, but really it's got a sound and feel all of its own. A rarity in style and elegance.
