Genre: Funk/Jazz/Psych/Indie. Taken from from Skinshape's 8th studio album 'Craterellus Tubaeformis'. For fans of Khruangbin, El Michels Affair, Madlib, Bonobo. Will Dorey aka Skinshape has proven himself time and again a connoisseur for the cosmopolitan, across a prolific career expertly exploring understated sounds and theatrical textures. Taking his place alongside the likes of Khruangbin, Tame Impala, Bonobo and Madlib, Skinshape's global kaleidoscopes are loaded with warmth and wisdom created on vintage analogue equipment applying a perfectionist's touch. As a former member of indie band Palace, he has played everywhere from Glastonbury and BBC Maida Vale to headlining Shepherd's Bush Empire. Skinshape's words on the tracks. The Ocean: "This one is dedicated to all the surfers out there. Following the theme of 1960s rock and combining it with subtle elements of 90s beats (that you may not be able to hear)." The Longest Shadow (feat. Andy Platts): "This song takes a more experimental route than some of the more 'psych' tracks on the album. The hot vocals of Mamas Gun frontman Andy Platts lends the track a deep soul vibe, whilst Jon Moody (of the band Franc Moody) lends his piano skills for an electric solo in the latter part of the track."
