Hello Wave

Released in July 2009 on Businessman Records

Physical copies of SB's second album are sold out. Digital copies can still be bought.

Baboo albums often capture a uniform spirit, and none more so than the second release for Businessman Records. With a campfire feel, the songs are relaxed and low-key on initial listens but deceptively complex; 'Let's Go To Town' comprises several movements, ending in a whooping, hollering crescendo, 'Little Bernadette' turns on sparkling melodies and charming group vocals and 'Hello Bullfrog, Hello Wave' is a slow-building epic of typical wit and heart-tugging reflection. While the songs centre on a homespun blend of acoustic guitar, double bass and mandolin, the album layers traditional folk and country influences alongside beautifully intricate, warm arrangements and fuzzy keyboard drones. A unique, personal and very Sweet Baboo take on traditional forms.  A companion set of videos for the album, filmed by Ryan Owen Eddleston, captures the homespun mood perfectly, a blast of bracing Welsh country air, bonfire smoke and sea spray.
