New album by FRAN & FLORA PRECIOUS COLLECTION
Hidden Notes Records, April 2024
"travels brilliantly between solid folk origins and avant garde play with a surprise at every corner"
- Jude Rogers, The Guardian (Folk Album of the Month)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Guardian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jazzwise "impressive musicianship and creative originality" - Tony Benjamin, Jazzwise "Can traditional Jewish music ever be considered 'punk'? In the hands f these composers, it can." - Richard Allen, A Closer Listen "The resulting menagerie of sound is at once moder, avant-garde and deeply traditional." - Nathaniel Handy, Songlines Magazine "Every so often, a record comes along, takes you by the lapels and gives you a damn good shake." - Gordon Rutherford, Louder Than War |
