Izzy Skinner is an Australian violinist who is using her gift to create dark, harsh and gloriously cold alt-rock. Don’t take “cold” to mean devoid of emotion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, there are elements of Lydia Lunch, PJ Harvey and even Diamanda Galás on songs such as “Are You His,” which feel experimental and oddly uncomfortable in all of the right ways.
The songs are so good and ever so slightly framed off an inch of where you’d expect them to be, one could imagine them scoring a David Lynch flick. Skinner is a real artist, someone truly willing to push the boat out, and that’s quite rare.
