These are the sweetly subversive songs of a darling Hong Kong duo. Songwriter Ah P and singer Nicole Au Kin-ying began adding teeth to Belle and Sebastian's twee-pop template in 2001. Accompanied at first only by a mini keyboard, Nicole's gentle and sincere voice turned out to be the perfect delivery system for what Ah P has called his "irksome grumblings"—a reference to the political themes he's explored increasingly since the band's debut album, The Ok Thing to Do on Sunday Is to Toddle in the Zoo—with Nicole serving as this catchy and accessible songwriter's guileless vessel throughout, and ever since.
