Snail and the Whale

Bedtime stories, Saul peaceful enough to let Mummy do the stories tonight. Arlo (who is wearing shorts and isn't naked as it appears) continuing his run of bedtime procrastination, unfortunately late to bed doesn't mean late to rise.

I've seen a couple of mid-year reviews where Ibibio Sound Machine have featured highly (including number 1 slot at Picadilly Records). Thought I'd give them a quick spin and see what the fuss is about. Sounds like a must purchase for fans of modern afro-beat and funk, which occasionally includes me. There's a lo-fi squelchy synth in the background of this which steers it away from the obvious.
