In seinen Songs kommen Samples von Straßenlärm genauso vor, wie das Pumpen einer Herz-Lungenmachine bei einem  Song über einem Mann, der auf eine Lungentransplantation wartet  ( „I Was Awake I Could Not Move My Eyes“). Seine Songs sind poetisch, tiefgründig, vielschichtig. All das  was vielen Popsongs unserer Zeit fehlt. Chris Letcher sticht heraus aus dem Einheitsbrei der aktuellen Popkultur.

Hier einige der Erfolge seines Debüt Albums ‚Frieze‘ und seiner EP ‚Harmonium‘:

- 2007 zweifach nominiert bei den South Africa Music Awards
- Top 20 US College Radio Charts
- #1 most downloaded progressive Rock Album, #1 most downloaded Commercial Alternative Album
- #10 most overall downloaded Album on eMusic.com!
- erfolgreiche Canada, US & Australien Tour

Einige Stimmen zum Album:

memorable” Billboard

•  “Chris Letcher crafts songs that sound like dawn:  
low and creaky, slowly building to a big burst
of light.” Rolling Stone

•  “A sense of luminous menace... further proof of the    
pleasure-potential of the disquieting and
disturbed.” Guardian

•  “Letcher has created a world that feels somehow more real than the one we‘re living in, and when the

•  “Dense, gorgeous pop” Maura Johnston, Idolator

•  “The most sophisticated rock album ever made by a    
South African Artist.” FHM

humorous offering... disquieting, electro-flecked,
intricately composed revenge ballads.” Critics’
Choice, London Time Out

•   „The album Frieze illustrates that Chris Letcher is one of
the greatest songwriters to grace the shores  of this
southern-most tip of Africa.“ -
