Some of you were asking about Mira Calix a
little while back, so here's a little press-review
for the upcoming 'One On One' release (March
2000) as clipped from the "forthcoming" section
of Bent Crayon's latest emailer.

CALIX, MIRA: One On One CD (WARP). "The debut album by South African born
Warp artist Chantal Passamonte/Mira Calix. From the start it was clear that
this was a new take on electronic music, one that reflecting her love of
strung out, avant garde guitar blazers like Spaceman 3 and My Bloody
Valentine as much as any techno influence. Richly steeped in her own,
digitally tampered-with vocals, it followed no particular rulebook but was
happy to rip out pages from all of them. One On One is a 16 track
introduction that reveals for the first time the true breadth and variety
of Chantal's vision, from the elongated, sunkissed chords of its opening to
the pummeling beat crunches of 'Skin With Me' and 'Isabella'. Using a mass
of sometimes contradictory elements, of savage beauty and rough grittiness,
sadness and euphoria, fragrant melody and rhythmic sweat, Chantal, or maybe
even the little part of her that is Mira Calix, is redefining electronic
music for a new generation." 18.99/2LP 18.99
