While we wait for the rest of the world to catch up with what’s happening in Jape-land, it’s inevitable that his most distinctive song “Floating” will be re-released in the UK on V2 records on November 19th appearing on the EP Jape is Grape which If I am correct includes “Floating”, “Christopher and Anthony” and “Young Man”.
This video, directed by M&E and D.A.D.D.Y. sees Richie get pelted with all manner of fruit in slow motion until he transforms into a Peter Gabriel “Sledgehammer” type superfood.

classy stuff. My mate last night was saying there should be an irish version of celebrity death match with irish indie bands fighting in a pit and that it could be called Fight Like Jape…I’ll get me coat
Great video! I saw Jape the other day at Nottingham and thought it was awesome.
I hope you don’t mind but I featured Nialler9 and Jape on my Anablogue podcast. Anablogue is a show all about music blogging and tries to highlight a few select cuts from each week. It used to broadcast on student radio but has since gone to podcast mode.
