Magazine Artist: THINGS OUTSIDE THE SKIN Title: You Knew It All Along Label: Facility Records Brooklyn, NY’s industrial
rockers Things Outside the Skin’s third full-length release
contains a cavalcade of big synthetic beats, swirling effects, and
a slew of vitriolic vocalizations. Making creepy music seems effortless
for this trio of electronic gurus, as a plethora of scintillating
sounds grab your ear’s attention as the pseudo rap of tracks
like “The Most Appealing Thing” assaults you from the
front. Mixing it up like Mike Patton meeting the Transplants on the
homage to Phil Hartman “Another Dead Comedian” while taking
the rave from the warehouse to your speakers on “Town &
Country”, YOU KNEW IT ALL ALONG goes 22-tracks deep (incuding
remixes and edits), leading you on a twisted ride through the minds
of master musical manipulators that know their way around a synthesizer
as well as they realize the power of a well-crafted song. If you dig
left of center Goth rock, this group will not disappoint. |
