Album Notes & Community Reviews

A single from 'Hot Shots II' that layers sampled fragments, loose live instrumentation and Stephen Mason's half-sung vocal in the Beta Band's characteristic collage method. It reflects the group's move toward more song-based structures without abandoning their cut-and-paste production.
