The Skeleton Dead
The Skeleton Dead are powered by electricity and recent memory, made up of Tom Sharples and Claire Wakeman singing songs on classic themes of love, seafaring and finding porn hidden in the woods. They may be based in London but their heart lies firmly along the coast of the Solway Firth, deep in the industrial north west. Influences come in the form of Bill Callahan, Leonard Cohen, Steven Patrick Morrissey, guitars with nylon strings and anything that includes an ethereal, reverb-soaked harmony or two.
