Ballet of apes

"A transcendent, jazz-inspired masterpiece from the former Oh Sees member ... Along with her interest in free jazz and expressive, improvisatory styles of music, it's possible to see these seven songs as a type of painting with sound, a messy, wild process of distillation and curation, until only sparse daubs of bright colour remain on the canvas. Limited elements, but a giant impact. It's been worth the wait".

"The seven songs maintain a consistent approach, hovering between terror and transcendence for the albums' duration ... To maintain this type of tension and still create a listenable, even beautiful album is a rare feat, and exploring this tension is one of the factors that makes Ballet of Apes such an interesting listening experience".
