Here’s what the press said…
*****Guardian Review
“As spring flashes in, this album heralds the season with astonishing power…Knapp’s voice throughout is a revelation, both pure and wild, springing free. Cuckoos, whirring clocks and buzzing flies add extra layers to this fascinating sound world on an album overflowing with warmth, light and waywardness.
*****MOJO
“…ancient tradition with respect and beauty…excitingly daring and enlightened.”
fRoots
“Lisa Knapp’s never been short of ideas but with Till April Is Dead she’s revealed her true identity as a tradition-immersed yet utterly contemporary and fearlessly original talent…”
