New Skull Defekts with the singer of Lungfish! Great record... get stoned!
"There are some bands who are content to make a record, play a few shows, and
exist as a musical entity only when it's time to make a new album, and then
there are bands like The Skull Defekts who are the backbone of their musical
communities. Hard at work on their numerous individual projects, constantly
collaborating, releasing their own records on their own imprints, and touring
incessantly, The Skull Defekts are Sweden's answer to the States' Sonic Youth
and the Netherlands' The Ex and one of the centerpieces of the Swedish
experimental rock scene.
Since their creation in 2005, The Skull Defekts have taken their base of
classic rock with massive guitar riffing, and infused it with their interest
in circular composition, drone, tribal music, Indian ragas, '60s minimalism,
and experimental music from numerous ages. The band 's lineage is nearly
unparalled amongst their peers with members having served time in Union
Carbide Productions, Kid Commando, Alvars Orkester, Satan Power, Oceans of
Silver & Blood, Anti Cimex, Cortex, Trapdoor Fucking Exit, 8 Days of Nothing,
and countless others. Their collaborations are no less notable with members
working with Pan Sonic and Mats Gustafsson. Peer Amid, their third ''rock''
album, finds the band augmenting their line-up with a new fifth member,
Lungfish vocalist Daniel Higgs."
