Hello Skinny is the brainchild of drummer Tom Skinner, who's other current involvements include Sons Of Kemet, Mulatu Astatke, Matthew Herbert, Finn Peters and The Owiny Sigoma Band amongst many others.
The project is Skinner's first as bandleader, composer and producer [playing most of the instruments] and sees him exploring areas around and between psych-dub, electronics, downtown jazz and folk stylings.
The Smash + Grab Mix Tape features contributions from Shabaka Hutchings, Trudie Dawn Smith and Rowdy Superstar.
The debut album 'Hello Skinny' is lined-up for release in October on Slowfoot Records.
His track 'Crush' will be appearing on a Brownswood Bubblers compilation scheduled for July 16th.
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
