Jellyskin
In Brine (black)
Now repressed on BLACK VINYL, 'In Brine' is the 2023 debut-album by Jellyskin, a Leeds-based duo featuring Will Ainsley and Zia Larty-Healy that blends indie/alternative pop, art pop, brown acid folk and post-punk with electronica, techno and experimantal music in a unique way. The songs are pieced together with themes of longing, misadventure by the sea, desire and aquatic apparitions that showcase Larty-Healy's warm but urgent vocal range. The pair's meticulous arrangement and rearrangement, sculpting, recording and mixing was a glacially slow process of adaptation, mutation, cooperation, growth, and, yes, natural selection.
