Slatter, Tom
Demon
Following on from his highly acclaimed 'Happy People' album, and the Murder And Parliament instrumental project, Tom returns with his most personal album yet, heavily influenced by indie rock albums of the mid 90s. There are contributions from Gareth Cole, drummer Michael Cairns, Toms sister Rebecca Haynes on bassoon and The Barley Singers. In Toms own words: "'Demon' developed from an idea I had into a record about my life, without having any personal lyrics. Its more a collection of songs rather than having a concept like 'Happy People'". FFO: Tom Waits, jh, singer-songwriter.
