Sweet Baboo is the pseudonym of Stephen Black, a singing and song-writing Welshman with a back catalogue of tunes to rival The Beatles'.

His psychedelic country-folk draws influence from fellow Welshmen Super Furry Animals and The Beach Boys, while his wonky pop beats make him stackable next to the likes of Alt-J and Gorky's. His melodies? Sparkling. His lyrics? Bittersweet. His music video? Kaleidoscopic and full of cats.

His latest offering "Let's Go Swimming Wild" will grip you like quicksand, making your ears slaves to his idiosyncratic sounds that sit on a sweet bed of mellow bass, lulling vocals and pop melodies that are laced with self-deprecatingly modest lyrics. Climaxing with clashing cymbals and an extensive brass section, there's no doubt that Mr Baboo leaves you craving more of his weird and wonderful sounds. Start your addiction at The Lexington on 22nd April. Tickets available here.
