Tamar Aphek – All Bets Are Off (CD)
Product Details
Tel Aviv-born guitarist and songwriter Tamar Aphek built her reputation leading the acclaimed Israeli rock band Carusella before striking out on her own, and that background in raw, live-driven performance comes through in every track here. Recorded at the legendary Daptone Studios in Brooklyn, this debut channels a restless, guitar-forward energy that sits comfortably alongside the Kill Rock Stars roster's long tradition of artists who prioritize instinct over formula.
For Tamar Aphek, the freedom to improvise was essential to creating the incredible ups-and-downs expressed on her solo debut, All Bets Are Off. From the machine-gun percussiveness of "Crossbow", to the creeping desolation of "Russian Winter", to the intimate insights of "All I Know", the album delights in twists and turns. Commenting on jealousy and surveillance, love and compassion, anger and escape, and countless more challenges unrevealed, it's no wonder Aphek hoped to capture "the feeling of a rollercoaster. "All Bets Are Off was record at the Daptone Records Studio, mixed by Daniel Schlett (War on Drugs, DIIV) and mastered by Greg Calbi.Russian WinterShow Me Your Pretty SideAll I KnowDriveToo Much InformationCrossbowBeautiful ConfusionNothing Can Surprise MeAs Time Goes By
