"Haunting dark folk-tronic fissures and shapeshifting shoegaze-dreampop" Boomkat


Beirut-based electronic pop duo Snakeskin come with the second single from their sophomore album "They Kept Our Photographs", due for release this September on London's Mais Um label.

Snakeskin’s music has an unsettling, eerie quality where angelic celestial beauty encloses darkness and rot – and second single “Bodies” epitomizes this - catchy, luminous dream-pop with extremely violent imagery. Drums pound and synths shimmer as a soft voice sings of "limbs that hang from bedsheet wrappings / razor cries, reverberating".

The album sees the duo building on their critically-acclaimed self-titled debut, dialing up the noise while keeping the celestial quality of their soundscapes intact. Tabbal's production branches into new directions - with excursions into hyperpop and electronica - and Sabra's lyrics mine new depths, turning the violence around them into visceral poetry, exploring ever darker and deeper currents.
