The only album released in in 1983 left by the UK group Swallow Tongue, which featured Alistair Roberts and Sam Appleby, who also worked with Patrick Fitzgerald, along with female singer Lavinia Greenlaw. It's an electronic new wave with funky drum programming, jazz-influenced sax and clarinet, and somewhat flavorful vocals that strangely match. While showing experimental elements, it particularly stands out with edgy reggae-ish track making on A4 and a possible balearic interpretation on B3.
