89.7 Eastside FM Sydney — The New Thing Feature
Our debut album was featured in the 6 April 2015 episode of The New Thing by Sammy Al on 89.7 Eastside FM, Sydney, Australia. He said about the album:
It’s a cracking album, that one. It’s called The ishs/Allen Project, a self-titled release from The ishs/Allen Project, and pretty much one of my favourite independent jazz releases that’s come out for some time. Really, really great energy to the whole of that one.

“The ishs/Allen Project” Review on AustralianJazz.net
AustralianJazz.net has published a review on our album. The review is beautifully written by John Hardaker.
The music of ade ishs — and now the music he makes on this album with Chelsea Allen — is far from simple, yet the expression is direct and heartfelt. There are moments when it can become almost too pretty, but that is the risk one takes if making your music inclusive and not exclusive to your fellow human beings.

There are 10 tracks on this crowd-funded CD, different enough to reward repeated listening but homogeneous enough to constitute a musical suite.
