Everything Is Borrowed

The Streets

A peaceful pivot toward existentialism. Skinner trades club beats for harps, flutes, and piano-led meditations on nature and human connection.

A serene and humble meditation on human existence that feels like a long, quiet walk in the sun.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, crystalline entry of the harp on 'I Love You More' that softens the conversational delivery.
The swelling, cinematic choir on 'Heaven for the Weather' providing a grand backdrop to Skinner's grounded observations.
The five-minute slow-burn of 'The Escapist' where the beat finally dissolves into a shimmering, ambient orchestral finish.
