Paved in Skin: Paved in Skin
- Flood
- Stain
- Murder
- Pure Flood (Remix)
Hailing from Kansas City, this three piece act has the extreme luxury of having
John Bergin of Trust Obey and C17H19NO3 fame produce and manage their material.
Unfortunately, not even the genius of John can save this band from the
monstrousity that it is. The underlying problem with this release is that all
of the musical elements clash. The tonality of the vocals are abrasive next to
the tinny electronics and flat bass. While the music is certainly original and
fresh, the execution sounds totally wrong. Dissonance is the word I want to use
to describe this act, but their music doesn't even begin to approach
Experimental. Instead, the mixing of the music grinds at the nerves and makes
your teeth shiver. The only track that even approaches a melody is the remix of
'Flood'. However, the remix is so far removed from the original track, that you
can hardly call it a remix. Pavid in Skin really need to work on harmony
amongst themselves, or their carrier is going to be very short lived.
Paved in Skin is:
Dustin Blegstad - bass, keys
