Album Review: Skullcrusher - Storm in Summer EP
“The most obvious and noteworthy shift between EPs is the leap in sonic density. No longer does she sound as if she’s just offhandedly recorded her musings on a voice note, instead Storm in Summer is boldly and proudly studio recorded, with shinier banjos, drums and synths bulking out her sound into unabashed pop-folk. This undoubtedly puts a greater distance between the songwriter and the listener – perhaps purposefully – but Ballentine’s words are just as honest and vulnerable, if you penetrate the production.”
Helen Ballentine aka Skullcrusher released one of my favourite EPs of 2020, so I decded to tackle the follow-up, Storm in Summer. Head to BPM for my review.
