Skin Town “Slidin’”

29 Aug 2013 — Parker Bruce

The graphically-named Los Angeles duo, Skin Town, will be releasing their debut album The Room on October 28 on the always reliable Time No Place. The album's first single, "Slidin'", has a synth that is nudging by Nick Turco (who does piano and synth for Zola Jesus, too) and masked charges of piano. Singer Grace Hall yearns "I want you to touch me right here" but nothing about the song is oversexed. In light of recent events, Hall and Turco's music falls on the right side of sexy (Ciara fits the bill for this too). Hall waits to really belt when she sings: "Teach me how to slide...All you have to do is stay right here" and that's what makes everything work even better and suddenly it's like it's 2011 and we're listening to Kelly Rowland's "Motivation."
