Sweet Baboo will release a new album this summer.
'Wild Imagination', the follow up to 2015's 'The Boombox Ballads' and last year's 'Dennis' EP, is set to arrive on June 2 through Moshi Moshi. Discussing it, Stephen Black said:
“I think everyone agrees 2016 was a pretty shitty year. I kept thinking about my son (he’s nearly 3) and wanting to protect him from the world, so I decided to try and make an album full of positivity because that’s what I know I can do. And at the moment, I don’t know what else to suggest. As an aside, the album was originally going to be called Positive Recordings.”
Black's frequent collaborator Cate Le Bon added:
"Within the honesty [of Wild Imagination] there is no agenda other than the salvation of his sanity, a man coming to terms with his existence and role on planet earth and its' forever changing wallpaper."
