Skin Town
The Room (out 11/5 on Time No Place)
This is really exciting. After a string of glittering bedroom R&B singles, we finally get to hear the debut LP from the LA-based duo. Comprised of singer Grace Hall and Zola Jesus affiliate Nick Turco, Skin Town lace modern, down-tempo R&B with slightly a sharper focus on radio-friendly melodies than many of their peers (How to Dress Well, Evy Jane, Inc., etc). Unsurprisingly, they both share an obsession with TP mascot/spirt animal/BFF The-Dream, and it’s apparent on each of these delicious tracks. Throw in a side of classic New Jack Swing and All-4-One harmonies, and you’ve got a hell of a potent sonic stew.
