about

"The horn player drew a horn from a case, as he would have drawn a tommy gun and began to fire notes out of the tarnished sax, his wild skeleton mask glinting in the twilight. The bass player began to belt out throbbing buzzes of bass, furious and rhythmic. The drummer threw a collection of drum parts on the ground in a pile and began angrily pounding on them like a deranged gorilla."

-Cassette Gods

"This tape, from beginning to end, is a nonstop jazz noise freak-out. The music has a swing and a character all its own. The songs don’t live in a freakout, but meld into pieces that have definitive ends and beginnings. This is meant to be heard in one sitting, I believe. I recommend you sit down and go on the entire journey."

-NORTHERN SLUDGE

"Defleshed, Skeletonized’s latest cassette, is a raucous cacophony of saxophone, bass, drums, synths and electronics. The sounds, as arranged and constructed, are erratic, but the group manages to hang onto each other, locking into unconventional grooves.

Unlike the self-titled release that came out a year ago, Skeletonized has split this new full release into seven individual tracks on Bandcamp, as opposed to featuring the two entire sides as one piece each. That being said, the release plays just as well as an uninterrupted listen, each track flowing into the next with subtle samples or threading synths.

Defleshed feels far more representative of natural themes, whereas the earlier self-titled felt a bit more industrial. Listening to this release feels like getting dropped into the sonic equivalent of a glowing grotto, raging river or windy mountaintop."

-Meg Fair, Pittsburgh City Paper

"Guess who has no idea how to describe this? This guy. But I mean that in the most sycophantic, positive way possible. I truly love that this has stumped me. Here's a few facts: You can dance to this. You can enjoy the sax solos. You can blaze and zone out to it. You can probably fuck to it. It is intense, brilliant, and beyond recognition. I have no idea what it is but I love it."

-Issues Magazine, #11
