“The cheerful dialogue that takes place on this session between xylophonist Alfred Kpebesaane and keyboardist Brittany Anjou is positively addictive. The shared combination of soothing melodies and hypnotic motion makes for a perfect marriage between Kpebesaane’s gyil (a traditional Ghanaian xylophone) and Anjou’s electronic synths. The addition of drums, bass, and live electronics amplifies the duo’s rhythmic conversation, making this the kind of joyful music perfect for the grand entrance of spring and warmer, more hopeful days.”
“She’s happy to lay waste to the instrument when that’s what’s called for: “Reciprokataj IV: Olive You” begins with a display of power that would mark the summit of most players’ performances.”
