Skinner is the project of Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer Aaron Corcoran who returned with new album, New Wave Vaudeville, last month via Faction Records.
“Sour Milk” is a heavy-hitting post punk and garage rocker from the album with a raw intensity and passion that has an element of controlled chaos about it that packs a significant punch that feels like a blend of Liily and Yard Act.
Speaking on the track, he adds:
“The song is about feeling untethered from reality and sleep deprived. I was working a job where I had to do night shifts and my sleeping pattern was so messed up I’d often go days without sleeping. I never knew what day it was and I never got to see anyone cause I’d be going to sleep when they were all waking up so there’s a lot of isolation and frustration in the lyrics. Then one day I was driving and I heard the song by The Beautiful South “A Little Time” and there’s a part where they sing “it’s funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn’t it? Isn’t it?”. I just thought it was really funny and true so it inspired this. Life is full of ups and downs and the most hilarious part about it is how quickly things can change. Kind of makes you appreciate it that bit more when you realise that.”
