"Giant Palm is a chic and compelling sequence of songs and compositions, each track coloured by Bock's affinity for international folk, pop, and jazz playbooks. Burton's contributions as arranger and producer are, again, considerable. Brimming with eclecticism and highlighting Bock's emotional range, Giant Palm is a stellar debut and one of 2022's more distinct releases".

"The London singer-songwriter, formerly of Goat Girl, teams with producer Joel Burton and a host of musicians on a sharply observed, sumptuously arranged album of idiosyncratic folk".

Naima Bock's solo debut is a spiritual record, in the most ecumenicals ense: its through-lines are nature, muted earth tones and grace. A founding member of post-punk band Goat Girl, where she played bass under the alias Naima Jelly, Bock's solo work takes a subtler but no less arresting approach, weaving in melodic passages for strings, organ and woodwind and rhythmic calls to her Brazilian heritage in ways that only fully reavel themselves with repeated listens".
