Yummy soundtrack material, Skindive pushes power pop into the industrial warehouse. This Dublin quartet dares to pull special effects into a brilliant album that can induce paranoia as easily as it instills a sense of complete serenity.I wish I had a mega sub-woofer to enhance the overall experience that Skin Dive dishes out in this new release. Singer Danielle Harrison applies her remarkable vocals with a freshly honed dagger throughout Gerry Owens' Lucky 13-course buffet of original tunes, each of which is exceptionally arranged and mixed to a dynamic and perfect balance of left, right, top & bottom. Incorporating vocals, guitar, bass, drums and, of course, SFX – there's lots to chew on here. The modern use of classic sounds, like solo strings that move in dissonant directions is just one indication of the innovativeness of this wonderful band. Warning to the adventurous: Skindive's intrigue will stick with you and their disc will stick around your player for a good long while. Make way…
