Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever is the third album by English rock band The Scaramanga Six. Background Following the promotional dates for the second Scaramanga Six album (2002's Strike! Up the Band), multi-instrumentalist Jenny Harris and drummer James Agnew both left the band. A new drummer, Steve Gilchrist, joined the remaining lineup of Paul and Steven Morricone, Julia Arnez and keyboard player John Gulliver. To produce the next album, Cabin Fever, the Morricones approached one of their longtime musical heroes - Cardiacs leader Tim Smith. In an interview with ireallylovemusic.co.uk around the time of the album's release, Paul Morricone asserted that "Tim Smith has been making mindblowing music with Cardiacs for years and years. We wanted to work with one of our all-time heroes. So we sent him some stuff and he agreed to record us – It’s the ultimate compliment when someone whose work you’ve admired for a long time really likes what you do."
