Feeling festive? Yes? Right, come back to me when you’ve listened to this.
Few artists have the ability to simultaneously thrill and depress as acutely as the extraordinary Soap & Skin. The Austrian singer’s debut, Lovetune for Vacuum, remains amongst the most disturbing records I own, full as it is with unremitting, beautiful bleakness.
‘Boat Turns Towards The Port’, taken from the forthcoming Narrow EP, suggests that black (or, rather, a deep, deep shade of grey) remains Soap & Skin’s colour of choice. The sound of a personal tragedy writ particularly large, it is compulsive in much the same way that it is impossible not to look at the remains of a car crash on the motorway.
Not feeling so Christmassy now, are you?
