Press Release :
"Some people say there are no true mavericks in today's bland pop landscape. Some people are idiots. I say to these people "Have you not seen Naim and heard the music he creates from his little wooden box?" These simple folk reply "Nay, we have not heard of the person you speak of. Nor of his box." I produce a small round object and place it into a sound device shield activator. The ensuing noise is one of joyous rapture and unbridled hedonism. Synthesiser riffs joust with pop sensiblities offset against a joy in experimentation only matched by small children first setting eyes on the world. Wonderesque harmonies square up to lyrics that deal with everyday life in it's various forms. Mainly sex. The clash of electronica, hip-hop, soul, and anything else lying around is a gorgeous mess reflecting the rich tapestry that is life itself." - Rupert (Hear Today Records)
