SKINSHAPE
IT'S REAL/AMNESIA (LEWIS RECORDINGS)
Lead single from Skinshape's 8th Studio Album 'Craterellus Tubaeformis'. For fans of Khruangbin, El Michels Affair, Madlib, Bonobo.
A perfect taster of Skinshape's latest album 'Craterellus Tubaeformis' is this double header featuring the laid-back vocals from the man himself.
The joyous feel of 'It's Real' sounds as if it's been lifted from a classic blues album but with a contemporary feel.
'Amnesia' keeps a similar vibe with thoughtful lyrics leading to a deeper track than the production may initially suggest.
Will Dorey's ambiguous words on the tracks It's Real: "I shall leave you to decide what the song is about.
Musically, it's straight-up 1960s British blues era style. Phased guitar solos, 12-string acoustic chugging along.
All that." Amnesia: "Following the course of slightly psych-edged bedroom pop. Is it pop? I shall leave you to discern the lyrical meaning." Support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, Jazz FM, Soho Radio, MOJO, Uncut, Shindig etc.
