Why it's here

Spring Heel Jack and Omni Trio on the boards; Ben Watt was DJing jungle and it shows

Walking Wounded catches a folk-rooted duo moving into jungle and treating the rhythm as theirs to use. Spring Heel Jack and Omni Trio worked the boards, Ben Watt's DJing feeds the pulse, and Tracey Thorn's writing remains unmistakably hers. Neither side of the collision politely recedes.
