Jape’s ‘Ritual’ is an album with so much content nestled in it’s lush branches it’s meaning keeps
shifting as the wind blows. Melding acoustic and electronic music making, swinging from heartfelt soul
searching to black humour, Jape has an amazing writerly lyrical touch, conjuring imagery of human
heads, graveyards, apples, plums and petrified forests.
Jape is a massive new talent. You could throw out a litany of names he compares to; Beck’s
slackadelia, Metronomy’s wonky bedroom production, Slick Rick’s machismo. The fact is ‘Ritual’ is one
of those rare albums that’s created it’s own universe.
