Félicia Atkinson a.k.a TMT favorite Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier is pulling out dusty boxes of her menacing, fragile and decaying folk-ambience to assemble an album of deep cuts for Umor Rex. The album, entitled Visions/Voices, is a smattering of the best, the weirdest, and the most beautiful songs culled from three years of limited CD-R and cassette releases. Despite their divergent sources, the music is tied together by her propensity for subtly unsettling instrumentation and alternately airy and claustrophobic arrangements. Every bit of teetering beauty has been remastered for this release by the madly productive James Plotkin, and several of the tracks, such as “Entomology” below, are available for preview on SoundCloud. Umor Rex is releasing this double LP summation of Félicia Atkinson’s recent past in March.
