Skinny Dippers Share Breathe Single
I have been captivated by Ryan Gross and his Skinny Dippers project on multiple occasions in the past, and with a new single, it’s time we revisit his work. Today, the single at hand has some ties to Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief, who touched on the track during the School of Song project; you can hear the little trinkets of Adrianne in the style, but the song only comes alive when the whole band brings in their arrangements. The banjo, for instance, is subtle, but gives a little bit of depth so the whole of the tune gets its fishhooks in you. You’l be able to find this track on the Zealous Gardner EP, which is slated for release later this year!
It was a busy week to start, then as usual at this time of year, I teetered out with our coverage; I blame the fact that I stayed up late to catch a great set from En Attendant Ana. We covered a lot of territory, bringing in an old school song from Heavenly, but with a new video to celebrate. Austin got some love with another great Feeling Small tune, plus some bonus Being Dead coverage popping up in there. ATH faves Melenas announced a new record, so really, we had an all out awesome week on our end. Feel free to stop in and check out what we had going.
Last week came and went in a flash, but there were definitely a few hits we wanted to remind you about that were on our radar. Two relatively unknown acts on our radar finally dropped their LPs, so be sure to listen to the hits from Pet Owner and Tin-ear. I was fortunate to see a sneak Voxtrot warm-up set before they head out on the road for a quick reunion tour, so made sure I included a jam in there. Plus, you’ve got new stuff from Winter and the Smashing Times, so there’s just 14 quick hits for you to digest this morning.
