Template:Album ratings Naked Apes and Pond Life is the eighth full-length album by Shriekback.[1] The 2000 release was a surprise resurfacing for the band, after many years of quiet.[2] It gathered many songs performed in intimate appearances in London over the preceding years, recorded in the studio by Barry Andrews, Martyn Barker, Lu Edmonds (last seen on 1985's Oil & Gold), as well as Simon Edwards and Mark Raudva.
Many of the tracks are instrumentals, but the vocal-driven "Berlin" and Big Night Music-esque "Everything's on Fire" are standouts.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "much of Naked Apes & Pond Life finds Shriekback playing a sort of twisted world music that resembles the organic/electronic mix of Big Night Music but adds a variety of exotic instruments and percussion."[3]
