Paranoid & Sunburnt

Skunk Anansie

High-voltage British rock anchored by heavy dub-inflected grooves and Skin's elastic, confrontational vocals. A political and deeply personal mid-90s landmark.

September 14, 1995 · Virgin

A fierce, uncompromising blend of political rage and raw, soul-baring vulnerability.
