The Humans + Kid Savant

Though the Humans are fronted by English new-wave cult singer Toyah Willcox and feature stellar work from two instrumentalists, bassist Chris Wong and multi-instrumentalist Bill Rieflin (who plays drums in R.E.M. but mostly sticks to bass here), the sound of King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp—Wilcox's husband, as it happens—is unmistakable on the group's new sophomore album, Sugar Rush. Will Fripp make a cameo here? Don't hold your breath, but don't stay away on his account, either.
