Mar 4, 2016I Abused Animal is a real shocker and definitely an album you won’t easily forget.
-
Dec 22, 2015This record doesn’t want to be anyone’s friend, but if you’re ready to feel, it’s real.
-
Dec 22, 2015Heather Leigh has emerged from centuries of tradition and the improv world she is most closely associated with, to deliver a work of art that exists in a world all of its own.

UncutDec 22, 2015On I Abused Animals, Leigh works with stretched song forms--the result is remarkable. [Jan 2016, p.77]

Dec 22, 2015Oftentimes she’s content to let one spidery riff circle the drain endlessly (“Quicksand”) and more than once she goes completely a cappella, an effect that would normally lend an album a sense of intimacy, but I Abused Animal seems resistant to emotional refuge.
