Keep the Outside Open (Vinyl LP)

The correct response when Stones Throw Records announces a new album is to shut the hell up and have a listen, and that's exactly what we are doing with the new one from Apifera, a "new jazz" collective made up of Nitai Hershkovits, Yuvi Havkin, Yonatan Albalak and Amir Bresler. The band's second album Keep The Outside Open finds them exploring new sounds, with "a dash of prog, a twist of post-rock, and a heavy dose of psychedelia" all melting together to form a lush palette we think you're just gonna love. - Flying Out 

Apifera – Nitai Hershkovits, Yuvi Havkin, Yonatan Albalak and Amir Bresler  – bring a melting pot of influences and experience to their second album Keep the Outside Open. When these musicians come together, the effect is like switching between radio stations: a dash of prog, a twist of post-rock, and a heavy dose of psychedelia, with the members’ shared background in jazz tying it all together. While Apifera’s debut Overstand was instrumental, on the new record the group adds lyrics, telling personal stories from everyday life and creating fantastical characters.
