In the words of www.artistovation.com, "Ange&Ris are a 2-girl team. Influenced by the keys of Tori Amos, haunting melodies of Sarah McLachlan and fresh grooves of Dido, they produce a melded, feminine, captivating sound. Poetic lyrics pour from their facination with Jesus, Tozer, C.S. Lewis, and T.S. Elliot, as well as the faces of people in their daily lives. Imagine intense keyboarding and vocal harmonies coming together with creative beats and aesthetic, subtle electronica." Angela Sheik and Larisa Forest are two musicians who didn't listen to much popular music growing up. It is no use mentioning names of mainstream musicians from 1900 - 1990 to them. However, their sheltered beginnings have helped them to discover their own unique sound; creative and beautifully uncanned. Ange&Ris have been working together since 2003. They recently finished their first full-length, professionally recorded album, entitled "...not me," in July 2007. They are regular performers in the Philadelphia area, and tour throughout the east coast.
