Description
New release by Skeletons, one of the most fascinating bands from the hugely creative Brooklyn/NYC scene of recent times. Skeletons create intense, original and revelatory music, working a globe-spanning realm of inspirations into a singular and colourful vision of guitar-based songcraft.
Led by Matt Mehlan and his long-term collaborators Jason McMahon and Jonathan Leland, Skeletons have spent the last few years touring their potent live show releasing a string of bold, beautifully recorded albums in the process.
Co-mixed by Rusty Santos (Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) and Animal Collective/Panda Bear) 'People' brilliantly boils down the band's thrilling sonic excursions into a collection of concise, fluid and emotive songs: rich, subtly dramatic musical atmospheres envelope Matt Mehlan's compelling lyrical tales, inhabited by unlikely real-life characters.
Even considering the number of talented, musically globetrotting guitar bands to have emerged from the US thus far this century, Skeletons have always stood out, in the words of US magazine XLR8R, as "one of the few contemporary bands who can legitimately be called original."
