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.
