Lope and Antilope

Lope and Antilope is the fourth studio album by the Bristol based jazz rock quartet Get the Blessing, released in 2014.

Most because of its birth in improvisation, least because of its use of electronic textures and non jazz rhythms as the group edge closer to post rock, ambient and dance music.

"[4] Writing for UK Vibe, Tim Stenhouse stated that the album offers "an original take on music with intelligent and invariably catchy riffs with a creative use of both acoustic and electronic instrumentation.

"[8] John Bungey of The Times stated that the album "curbs wilder, free jazz instincts for a series of mood pieces... And when they are not being enigmatic or teeth-threateningly loud, their music can be rather pretty.

This is in no way reflected by the end product which is classy, inventive and worth listening to... what, in the wrong hands, could so easily have resulted in a chaotic mulch of barely distinguishable sound is in fact an album to behold.
