Artist description Sometimes moody, often sultry pop songs delivered with head-first enthusiasm, intricate artistry, solid timing and a driving edge. While there is an emphasis on atmospheric layering, intelligent songwriting and complex arrangements, Lux 66 grabs you and won't let go with plenty of hooks that leave listeners inexplicably humming for days.

Artist History Steve, Albert, Tommy and Ames first met and began their band odyssey during their college days at UMass, Amherst. Though they didn't follow in the footsteps of the Pixies and drop out, they did make their way to Boston after graduation. With some time off for other musical endeavors and partnerships, the quartet reformed last year and headed off to the studio to record their debut EP, Angels and Devils. Endless self-promotion in the local scene and online has placed them on the play list at most local college stations and in the Top 50 at MP3@Boston.com for months. Now they've set off to conquer MP3.com.
