Dublin’s own multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer, Aaron Corcoran, has dropped his debut album, New Wave Vaudeville. Performing under the name Skinner, this 10-track wonder draws inspiration from the New York No Wave scene of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. It’s an experimental ride, bursting with a rambunctious flair.
The album is a wild mix of No Wave, dance-punk, Latin disco, and post-punk vibes. Imagine the hypnotic beats of "Sour Milk," evoking a sense of detachment from reality. Then there’s the loud, in-your-face Dublin noise-rock feel of tracks like "Calling In Sick," "Tell My Ma," and "When You Live In A Shoe." It’s an emotional rollercoaster, driven by intricate, innovative instrumentation.
Skinner crafts a sonic universe where no wave and post-punk meet grunge and alt-rock. It’s intense, yet elevated—a musical journey that’s as unpredictable as it is compelling.
