Felix Laband

Felix Laband is an electronic music artist born in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.

He creates light, emotional, minimalist soundscapes by combining several styles, and samples from classical, jazz and old television recordings overlaid with instrumental performances by himself and other guest artists. His music has been described by his record label as 'indietronica' and is similar in some ways to Boards of Canada and Iceland's múm.

Felix Laband himself has been described as very reclusive (echoed by the fact that he, as of 2007, does not have an official website or other source of current artist information).
