Recorded in sunny Valencia, "Black Cat, Dark Horse" melds the talents of Chicago's Janet Beveridge Bean (Eleventh Dream Day / Freakwater) with those of Robert Lloyd (from the Midlands' mighty Nightingales) for a unique and magnificent album of songtastic magic.

Backing musicians include:

Pete 'The Tank' Byrchmore, ex-Nightingales, musical mastermind behind Robert Lloyd's solo work, and current guitarist for Membranes

Mark Bedford, whose bass-ic genius underscores the pop majesty of Madness

Pablo Roda, a mysterious man who showed up, jumped right in and held it together with utter perfection.
