Tracks
- he was painting her face with colours she had never seen
- i is one
- in more turbulent times she managed to take the perfect shot
- often they came to visit even just to see how she was
- The shine of gold was too strong
- whats really important she wanted to know - part 1
- whats really important she wanted to know - part 2
- whats up is not whats real most of the time
- when she curled up they started dancing
- when they came closer she realised they were alien creatures
Description
Skylla is the debut solo recording of Italian-born and London-based composer, bassist, and vocalist Ruth Goller. This album of otherworldly detuned bass harmonics and dense vocal arrangements was initially released in 2021 by longtime collaborator Bex Burch’s Vula Viel Records, and quickly went out of print. Since then Goller’s notoriety has only grown, and her follow-up record, SKYLLUMINA, was released by International Anthem in early 2024 and met with high praise.
Skylla is the genesis of her sound, and it is a sound that is hardto place. Listeners could be convinced that these recordings came out of contexts as disparate as 80s Downtown NYC or some mysterious Bjork-adjacent project of the Icelandic 2010s. It’s hard to imagine a person making this music despite the fact that its elements are instantly recognizable.
