“This revelatory and confrontational live album centers around Angel Bat Dawid’s prowess as a band leader. With her eclectic band, it’s a brilliant document of how free jazz functions as both exploration and exorcism.” – Pitchfork (Best New Music, 8.4)

“Hear her guttural, despairing exhortations and try not to be shaken to the core.” – NPR (Best of the Year in Protest Music)

“LIVE captures a band working through the all-consuming grief of racism using the exorcising powers of experimental jazz and avant-garde improvisation.” – WIRE (Best Releases of the Year, #34)
