Lost Animal is Jarrod Quarrell (ex-St Helens), come over all brooding jazz/electro fusion. Taken from his forthcoming debut Ex Tropical, the track showcases a strange and wilful talent, crooning bitterly over an intoxicating mix of pre-fab beats, space porn synth notes and something that sounds like a melodica. Musically, they have nothing to do with each other, but something about Lost Animal reminds me of Nick Cave.
