New Portals - WinterSkin

Thursday 24th November, 2016



They say:
WinterSkin is about someone caught up in a relationship that is not good for them.



They know that they should get out but they have a fear that they won’t find someone better so they keep it up despite it spiralling out of control and pulling them down with it."

We say: WinterSkin builds from its minimalist intro to a buzzsaw-synth electro epic, cold as ice lyrically and with glass-smooth production to match.



The vocals take centre stage, but there’s a lot to be enjoyed here in terms of instrumentation too, with meandering guitar licks dripping in reverb adding to the consummate cool sheen”

New Portals are electro-folk duo Ruth and Mike Aicken - 'WinterSkin' is their latest single.
