Jape Is Grape

Some new material here from one of Ireland's finest acts. Jape has been on a steady rise since the slow-burning success of the blissful 'Floating' and it's great to see he's able to keep churning out interesting stuff. Jape has just polished off his second album and before it's ready for release he's giving us the 'Jape Is Grape' EP. It features 'Floating' and a handful of remixes (though not the excellent Prins Thomas mix) plus two new tracks so it's more of a prelude to the album than anything else.
The real highlight is 'Christopher and Anthony' an incredibly hypnotic piece of electro pop which deserves to be as big as 'Floating'.
He's playing three gigs in Dublin this weekend before he heads off around Europe. Then he returns for shows in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Derry and Belfast in December. Check out his myspace for details.
