St. Lenox

Both of St. Lenox’s albums together on a two-CD set! 
Ten Songs About Memory And Hope, the Anyway Records album debut of New York’s St. Lenox and Andrew Choi’s singularly thrilling mix of pop-song craftsmanship, atmospheric electro kicks, rich singing, jazz freedom, and, yes, karaoke, is rendered with charisma to burn. Energetic tracks like “I Still Dream of the ’90s” colors the recent past with current longings for flying cars, while “Just Friends,” a fluidly melodic mid-tempo ballad, insists that pop-soul lives in 2013. 
Ten Hymns From My American Gothic is a sprawling, layered, stream-of-consciousness portrait of modern American life, presented by Choi as a gift to his father, who immigrated to the United States, in honor of his 70th birthday. Written, performed and recorded by the writer in off-hours while working as an attorney in Manhattan, the album meditates on progressive themes, immigration, cultural divide, forgiveness and manifest destiny.
