Luxury Skin

Ashburn

Poetic and penumbral, sultry and sincere, Luxury Skin’s debut LP It’s All Over confidently serves up powerfully melodic parables on an alluring bed of attitude and emotional openness. Culling a range of diverse influences—from <a href="spotify:artist:4UXJsSlnKd7ltsrHebV79Q" data-name="Nick Cave &amp; The Bad Seeds">Nick Cave &amp; The Bad Seeds</a>&#39; playful gravitas to <a href="spotify:artist:0uZEznXmvyfBOsANICyyxT" data-name="Bertolt Brecht">Bertolt Brecht</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:69a1b61a56mJlx8iAUMBsY" data-name="Kurt Weill">Kurt Weill</a>&#39;s provocative theatrical agitprop—Luxury Skin is the latest musical journey of Juliet E. Gordon, former frontwoman of Californian alternative electronic outfit <a href="spotify:artist:6hGy07V2nZUpUwbZSgckSX" data-name="The Classical">The Classical</a>. 

It’s All Over elegantly performs and confrontationally invokes a wide breadth of characters, moods, and affective states from comic pagliaccio to tragic heroine, from blueswoman to bad bitch to best friend. Adorned by diaphanous electronics and string quartet overlays that undulate between plaintive and luscious, the album coolly collapses the club, the cabaret, and the concert hall. Passionate dreamscapes swirl around the pianos and pizzicato of “Don’t You Recognize.” “Vows” slinks forth in equal parts blues band, electronics studio, and processed vocals whose calls sound as if they are coming from inside the mouth: “Are you breathing?” “This Time&#39;s for Love” is a piano ballad crooner that perfectly translates the atmosphere of a place like Sid Gold’s Request Room, the karaoke piano bar where the album first debuted. And tracks like “Looking For You” and “Prometheus” brighten the repertoire like a deep breath.

This is truly unhinged and beautiful like all great art should be. I never watched a music video and needed a cigarette so bad. 10/10 masterful work everyone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Couldn’t be happier to be in this psychotic fever ceremony

This is the best music video I&#39;ve seen in a long time. My hat is off to everyone involved in the making of this.

This made me think of the people of Palestine. I wish them peace and freedom

beautiful, lush, evocative- it&#39;s so cool to see you making something this breathtaking
