Her Skin released a brand new single ‘Suitable’ on the 22nd July, via WWNBB. Originally from Modena, Italy, Her Skin is 25-year-old singer songwriter, Sara Ammendolia. ‘Suitable’ is very personal song and is extra special as she wrote the song with her dad, who is also a musician. This is the third single taken from her forthcoming album ‘I Started A Garden’, that will be released later this year.

As you’ll see from the website, we’ve been chasing many artists and bands around, badgering them for interviews ahead of the Mucky Weekender festival that takes place in Winchester over the weekend of 9th/10th September. Having missed Hollie Cook performing at Beautiful Days in Exeter, we were super keen to sit her down and ask her a few questions about the festival, the recording of her latest record and her top three festival survival tips!

As American Multi-instrumentalist Christopher Sluka celebrates the release of his 13th album "Happy In Your World", he speaks to musomuso about the incredible ride that has been his career. From making it big in Japan and Europe in the 1980s and running his own label, to operating a pair of artist centric coffee shops, opening a flight school and learning to man aeroplanes…..

“Shimmering dream pop melodies matched to an innate sense of grit, their DIY approach lets the band set the agenda.” - CLASH
“One of Scotland's most exciting up-and-coming dream pop groups, PLASMAS draw on everything from the dreaminess of Tame Impala to the vulnerability of The Cure and the sunny intimacy of The Beths.” - THE SKINNY

After spending 3 days at Beautiful Days Festival, I spent a couple of evenings musing over my experiences, the bands that I had seen and selecting the best acts that made the weekend for me, read on to find out how I got on.

The heavy bass then enters the soundscape along with some emphatic drumming that you can feel in your chest. Bigman himself then comes in with his snarling remarks of anger towards the establishment and the conventions of the working world.

Her Skin describes herself as a Caramelised singer songwriter with an intimate freak folk and faded punk flavour filling and this track is the perfect embodiment of that. A simple but clever soundscape allows the lyrics to breathe and feel as if she is in the room talking to the listener. There is also a precise use of layering throughout the track to create distinct rise and falls, heightening the emotive content throughout.

The music video for the track was released on YouTube over on the 22nd of July. Directed by Giacomo Sala, the video further proves how much thought Kihmy has put into this entire song as a piece of art; a carefully manufactured atmosphere guided by soft piano and deep-ocean vocals.

What makes this release special is the fact that it provides a much deeper insight into the personality and vibe that drives this artist and his vision. Instead of getting stuck in the usual creative clichés, Connor likes to shuffle the decks and try new things. This release is a perfect example of that.
