The novelty newcomers at last year's Womad, Malawi Mouse Boys are a gently charming, gospel-influenced group who are more remarkable for their history than for their pleasant, easy-going DIY songs. They were making their living selling rodent kebabs to travellers in Malawi, and singing in their free time, when they were discovered by producer Ian Brennan.

Their second album is just a hint more sophisticated than the first but follows the same formula. The songs are short – there are 15 tracks in a set of only 31 minutes – and range from hymns to reggae, with three featured lead singers taking the lead on their own compositions, and the group's fourth member adding just a fragment of a song.

There's some fine harmony work and gospel singing, especially from the soulful Zondiwe Kachingwe, but they find it hard to sustain even this brief set.
