At some point more people in the UK are surely going to notice that Crippled Black Phoenix is one of the most talented musical collectives in the country. Although their first record, “A Love of Shared Disasters”, was perhaps a slow start to their discography, the sheer scale of follow-up “The Resurrectionists / Night Raider” and the groovy underbelly of third effort “I, Vigilante” should really have gained them a lot more attention by now. As things stand, however, “(Mankind) the Crafty Ape” arrives unheralded by the vast majority of the music world.

It is clear that Eyvind Kang, violinist for hire to the likes of Mike Patton in recent years, is an enormously talented musician, a composer and performer of great skill, yet it is perhaps not so clear that he can consistently produce brilliant full-length records. “The Narrow Garden” falls foul of that description in a fashion. This is as an album that manages to be both intriguing and enjoyable but never quite the sum of its parts.
