No Age too brutalist for you? Here's a heedlessly beautiful alternative.
-
Mostly, Skeleton is jagged and weird....But if you can take the knocks, the band is at its finest when embracing discordance.
-
Skeleton's flaws are few and often obscured by the album's mixing: Vidal's vocal adds an additional rhythmic layer, but his lyrical work is interesting enough to be more pronounced and less muddied.
-
They create a mood and atmosphere that's certainly unique, but one in which very few songs stand out, despite some fine moments.
-
With a record possessing such an untamed imagination it’s fair to say that Abe Vigoda’s maddened prattle is a talent worth nurturing, whether soil in their teeth or blood on their knees.
-
This is what jamming econo means to kids whose horizon isn't classic rock and hardcore, but grunge and post-hardcore. It sounds really good.
-
Cleverly and neatly interwoven to further the sense of disorientation, Skeleton is a concentrated blast of strangely accessible noise that is both bracing and energising.
