“Certainly one of the most varied albums of the last months. Artfully changing from Jazz, Electronica and world music, Addie Brik’s songwriting and her arrangements are reminiscent of artists such as Robert Wyatt. Very grown-up, very deep, very clever.”
4/5 ROLLING STONE
“The phenomenal Georgia-born Ms Brik has ravishing vocal and tireless imagination. The follow-up memorable 2004 debut Loved Hungry, this second album wasn’t made quickly or easily but her kaleido music is bourne on an agile multi-hued voice. Camp it up.”
4/5 DAILY MIRROR
Strike The Tent came out of the experience of living in Budapest for two years and was recorded in Hungary and Transylvania. It is heightened by the use of a far broader palette of sounds and instrumentation, utilizing the fiddle, Cimbalom, Koboz, Difonic Singing, Kanna Drums and featuring The London Scottish Regiment and the Budpaest Boys Choir.
