Since 1998, the genre bending duo, Hungry Lucy, have been traversing the musical spectrum. Their music creatively fuses trip-hop, darkwave, world music, electronica and pop with haunting female vocals. To date, Hungry Lucy has released 3 full-length albums: "Apparitions" (2000), "Glo" (2003) and this, their 3rd full-length album, "To Kill a King" (2004) as well as appearing on dozens of compilations in the U.S. and over-seas. Fans of Hungry Lucy's first two releases will not be disappointed with this fresh batch of inspired electro-organic productions crowned with Christa Belle's haunting voice. While not purely a concept album, a common story runs throughout "To Kill a King" as Christa Belle's deeply personal lyrics lead you through a tale of oppression, grief and ultimate triumph. The uplifting vibe of "Shine" fuses percussion instruments from around the globe with steel guitar and a soaring vocal melody. While the medieval flavored "Stars" evokes an electrified songwriter feel of Dido or even Madonna in her more contemplative moments. The haunting "Softly" is a melancholy gem that tugs hard at your emotions, combining electric piano, harpsichord, slide guitar and Christa Belle's soothing voice. The opening track, "High Price of Mistakes", is a moody synthetic piece that manages to sound icy cold, yet emit a warm glow all at once. It's this type of beautiful contrast that Hungry Lucy are passionate about, and fully demonstrate on "To Kill a King". Their talent for emotionally blending the familiar with the exotic captures you at first listen and leaves you wanting more.
