Death by Chocolate

Death By Chocolate is the confectionary pseudonym of one Angie Tillett, purportedly a teenage chambermaid from the kitschy English tourist town of Clacton-on-Sea. Now, Angie clearly has a fondness for sweets, which evoke powerful sensory memories for her -- as do colors. Letters too, actually. She recites these memories, non-sequiturially, in the bored voice of a schoolgirl delivering a report before class, while giddy pop keyboard lines burble and eddy around her. In addition, Tillett offers '60s spy movie instrumentals, quirky bubblegum psycedelia, and novelty covers, including a decidedly twee version of Cat Stevens's "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out," made famous in the '60s black comedy Harold and Maude. Her music is as much a pop-cultural study as it is escapist fantasy.
