 When you least expect it, an album comes out that surprises you, takes you like a sweet obsession, capturing you without fail in its hypnotic coils.

 Tomboy immediately throws you off, there is soul, or gospel, or something that has to do with the soul of music that comes from the mouth and hands of Mr. Lennox, and we start to take real distance from the danceable moments of the previous work, here one thinks, here one enters a different dreamlike dimension, another plane of Animal consciousness.

 And then, okay, a blow to the hoop and one to the barrel, because if half of the record is full of sunshine, the other half travels within that kind trance called melancholy.
