Soap&Skin

A harrowing, eight-track document of grief. Piano keys strike like hammers against a backdrop of icy electronics and raw, shuddering vocals.

A relentless and physically palpable document of mourning that feels both fragile and violent.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, terrifying transition from a delicate piano melody into the distorted, industrial roar of track 3.
The way the vocals on 'Vater' sound as if they are being choked back, capturing the physical reality of grief.
The eerie, slowed-down transformation of the 80s pop hit 'Voyage Voyage' into a ghostly, hollowed-out lament.
