Dublin artist Skinner has released his new single ‘The Slump’.It’s Skinner’s first release on Ireland’s Faction Records (James Vincent McMorrow, All Tvvins, Sorcha Richardson), released ahead of an upcoming headline show in Dublin on March 24th, Silverbacks tour supports and festivals like Beyond The Pale, and All Together Now. Skinner is a 24-year-old DIY slouch rock musician based in Dublin, Ireland, who writes, records and produces songs about growing up and overcoming a dirt-flecked 21st-century existence. 

‘The Slump’ is a fine example of Skinner’s intricate musicianship. Lushly arranged and richly textured the tune reveals new, riveting undertones with each subsequent listen. Filled with jittery percussion, irresistible bass hooks and sleek guitar atop a catchy melody ( while a jubilant sax solo shakes up the song’s aesthetic), Skinner displays his edgy refined sound in all its glory. ‘The Slump’ is an exciting new track from Skinner and gives a glimpse of great things to come from this talented artist. Turn up the volume, press play and enjoy.

Aaron Corcoran, Skinner says of the song:“The song channels a feeling of nothingness and attempts to see the humour in it. Everyone goes through periods where every day feels like a slap in the face so I wrote this weird disco song to distract myself from the monotony of it all. I was trying to escape everything and make something fun, something you could dance to.”
