'War yeah War' goes track two - the Islamic touches seeming oddly poignant as middle Eastern children scrawl messages of love on bombs intended for their neighbours... this fades into the short shamanic dub of trk three and I find myself swaying pleasantly while spooning the fruit salad.
Later Hannibal’s elephants call through the floorboards as my eldest goes to bed; my littlest pulls strange faces to the dying embers. What's this called?

Track One - Sunburned Hand of the Man
