With her heavenly APE debut album WARM ROBOT only a mere few weeks away, New Mexico’s neutron nymphet Jen Olive presents part 2 of the album podcast. Jen walks you warmly through such beautiful songs as the seashore seance ALL MY HEADS MEET, the lucid luminescence of WAFFLESONS DREAM and the sugar sad swing of HERE I GO.
This is one truly beautiful record that we at APE are very proud of. Captain Andy P himself mixed the music and even contributed percussion and little keyboard dabs in places. WARM ROBOT is released on March 28th but we will be making it available to pre-order before then, with the added bonus of a free download version for the early birds. We’ll update you on it all as soon as we can, in the meantime enjoy part 2 of Jens podcast.

Listen to the first colourful installment of a multi part series of chats between Andy Partridge and legendary producer John Leckie, or Sir John Johns and Swami Anand Nagara to give them their Dukes of Stratosphear nom de psyches.
In the first part John talks of the run up to producing 25 Oclock and includes tales of his early years in the industry. Strap yourself in securely as you’re in for a bumpy ride. You’ll hear of kissing sheep, recording an addled Syd, the joy of getting fired and many more kaleidoscopic stories to warm the cockles of your liquid light show projector.
The expanded remastered versions of 25 Oclock and Psonic Psunspot are released on Ape on 20th April BUY
