Arlyn is a thoughtful acoustic venture into the possibility of a truly modern folk genre.<p>
Drawing from reflections on innocence (and its loss), and the haunting atmospheres that inspire the spirit of folk, a new music has emerged within a modern, conceptual framework.<p>
It is a yearning remembrance of small, unsullied things that died by the hand of rationality and adulthood; a view from the mountain of modern progress at the myth and magic and innocence left to fade slowly with the aging of the world. It is a tying up of the beginning with the end, in the hope of renewal and of revolution.

Street Cred: 50
Rec's: 4
“Unusual vocal timbres, great atmospherics, interesting formal strategies, and, basically, a good jam. Hippies they may be, but urban ones with multi-effect processors.”

Track: Your Friends Will Carry You Home
(
$0.71
)
Artist: Faux Hoax
“This is the epitome of groove-oriented boho-folk cool: quirky monologue, candid recollections, rich analogue timbres, loose and spontaneous-ish instrumentation, and narrative with substance.”

“Adjoa Skinner has the ability to be deeply moving and funny at the same time. This is authentic, personal, soulful jazz-pop. Excellent songwriting, great piano, and especially beautiful singing. Best of all, it's supremely real. One gets a sense of the singer's character, her inner life, and her everyday perspective on things. In a world full of abbreviated, 2-dimensional shallowness, Adjoa Skinner is here, now, and in the flesh; live and beautiful.”

“Especially beautiful singing; soulful and real. Adjoa Skinner has the ghost of Jeff Buckley in her music, but with a simplicity and lightness that make her all together more accessible.”

Track: Use Me (Album Version)
(
$1.29
)
Artist: Bill Withers
“One of the best openings of any live album ever recorded. Withers and co. are so funky that the audience is clapping the entire time. The icing on the cake: after they've played the song once, Bill introduces the band and plays the song in its entirety for a second time!”

“a nice build beginning with Kingsmen-esque 60s pop and ending in expansive psychedelic noise rock.”

“light, nonsensical indie-pop. stuck in my head pretty much all the time”
