2003, Pedal Bark
For their follow-up full-length effort, “Weather & Oil,” SKIPTRACE reunited with producer John Agnello. Recorded in San Francisco and New York , “Weather & Oil” again finds the band balancing alt-country indie-pop with swatches of semi-psychedelic, feedbacked sound art and guitar-driven melody. Retreating somewhat from the jangle-pop of their debut EP, “Weather & Oil” capitalizes on distorted bass, electric piano and howling synth guitar while retaining the band’s obsession with melody and layered instrumentation for a sound oft-described as “radio-friendly in a CMJ sort of way.” ActionAttackHelicopter.
