Although best known to the jazz community for drumming with Finn Peters, Mulatu Astatke and others, Tom Skinner's solo debut, recorded under the nom de guerre Hello Skinny, has more in common with the dance-friendly dub-meets-krautrock experiments of label mates, Snorkel. To an extent, the whole project is based around the album's title track – a fairly faithful rendering of a tune by US avantgarde collective The Residents – built around a rumbling dub bassline with queasy spoken word verses; here given extra clout by propulsive electronic percussion and a fiery sax solo from Shabaka Hutchings (who co-writes a couple of tunes on the album). It pretty much sets a template for the rest of the session: rhythmically grounded, electroacoustic jams incorporating sub-bass, synaptic flares of post-acid electronics and a pronounced dash of post-rock (‘Me And My Lady’, for instance, sounds like Tortoise with an added Morricone twang). Just don't expect too much in the way of jazz.
