THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “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.”
