The core-group of GITBOX REBELLION, Nigel, Kim, Jonathan and Russell, are here joined by a number of friends and a variety of instrumental textures to expand the tonal range of the GITBOX sound. Touch Wood is an extremely attractive album, infused with a colourful mix of generic and cultural influences, inventive performance and recording techniques, and an undeniable musical passion. The overriding spirit of the CD is joyful and affirmative, and it would be a heart hard indeed that was able to resist its infectious charm.

"The second Gitbox album is chock full of jaunty, delicate, heartfelt and twisted tunes. This time round, a selection of new instruments are added, including cello, violin, tablas, bass and sheng. Pop, funk, jazz, African, classical, Indian ragas, folk and blues mesh into the group's sound. Touch Wood is a revolution." - Suzanne Court, Music in NZ
