April Fish recommends:

Hat, Rabbit
by Gaba Kulka

Gaba is a master craftsman of song. A little bit of everything, her music is difficult to categorise but always worth listening to attentively. It's beautiful, clever, and quirky. Highly recommended. April Fish

Upon A Penumbra
by Jaggery

Jaggery is like a favourite book... whatever else you read, there's always a pull to revisit those familiar pages, and you KNOW everyone else would love it if they read it too. Listen with headphones. April Fish

Say So

Vince Welch of Bent Knee mixed our album "An Alien Invaded...". One of my all time fave bands - intelligent, brave, powerful, great music. April Fish
