BACKGROUND
3 tracks which use backing vocals percussively, eccentrically and inventively. Tom growls and grunts, doing his take on the human beatbox, French Camille sounds like she's blowing raspberries among other things, and the Hungarians Shukar Collective do a kind of tourettes syndrome take on human percussion. But, believe it or not, this is all still catchy, approachable music - at least I think it is!
