about

Skin Unwell talks about a paradox that only few people have experienced. A feeling of being annoyingly clever but at the same time being three steps behind - always. A bitter nostalgia from someone lamenting how they carved in their school desk to the sound of grown-ups saying "you'd do great if you'd only apply yourself". The sound image is still very Spunsugaresque with those intersections of rugged and soft, emphasis and stillness. Spunsugars signature contrast remains in quick changes from more polished guitars to fuzzy riffs. Different pulses from the bass and the drum machines rest on top of each other. A reflection of a dull and sluggish life rushing before someone's eyes.

lyrics

Some people do have access to
dreams that those who aren't you
can only dream to dream about
Skin that I can't figure out
Tattoos that they all did on me
starts to peel off you see
Some gets them to the blood and bone
Some get theirs carved and stoned

That was never me
Never meant to be

Some people do have access to
dreams that those who aren't you
can only dream to dream about
Skin that I can't figure out
Tattoos that they all did on me
starts to peel off you see
Some gets them to the blood and bone
Some get theirs carved and stoned

That was never me
I will never be

I will never be
I will never see
They can never tell
My skin is just unwell
Skin is just unwell
Skin is just unwell
Skin is just unwell
Skin is just unwell

I will never be
I will never see
They can never tell
My skin is just unwell

Spunsugar Malmö, Sweden

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound. ... more
