Baltimora : LIVING IN THE BACKGROUND

by Frank Shankly

LIVING IN THE BACKGROUND is the title track and third single from Italian new-wavers Baltimora's debut album of the same name. The song reached number 87 on the U.S. charts, even without an accompanying music video. 

Upon its release, Billboard Magazine wrote, "Italian singer abandons the jungle for the safety of the dancefloor." Alas, LIVING IN THE BACKGROUND did not garner the same attention that their first single TARZAN BOY did. 

The group's second album did not chart and the band soon broke up. Vocalist Jimmy McShane died of an AIDS-related illness in 1995.
