Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Once again APUH! returns with a brand new album, freshly squeezed from the bottom of their hearts. After releasing one vinyl and one cassette, the trio is now trying out the latest thing: the CD-ROM. Their new album "Freedom of Peach" was recorded during APUH!'s US-tour in the spring of 2016. It offers a dimensional experience to the listener and includes both composed and improvised material. APUH! has been described as "the most exciting and personal jazz groups I've heard in a long time" and also "mediocre acoustic jazzy improv music". Or as an audience member once explained APUH!'s music: "It's not not jazz". Why don't you get one, two, or three of their albums and decide for yourself?"-Palsrobot Records
