Data Insight
Both of them are on all thirteen tracks and only five have nobody else. Eight guests take a writing credit for the part they sing, which is how this band works: the song is built for the singer, so the singer ends up in the credits. Yoko Ono fronts a track and does not.
Scars came out on XL in September 2009. Kelis, Santigold, Yoko Ono, Paloma Faith, Sam Sparro and Amp Fiddler all sing on it, and every track has a different guest.
