New Skin

New Skin is the second full-length album from Seattle-based musician/producer Tucker Martine's Mount Analog collective. Martine has become a highly sought-after producer and musician and has worked on records by artists as accomplished and diverse as Jim White, Modest Mouse, The Long Winters, Laura Veirs, Land of the Loops, Bill Frisell, Sam Rivers, Jesse Sykes, John Zorn, and Lori Carson. This album is immediately engaging and cinematic; repeated listens reveal intricate layers of early American folk, classical ambience, as well as Martine's extensive field recording work in Morocco, Mali, Turkey, and the US. The result is a strikingly original and haunting collage.
