about

WINTERSKIN is a 7-song album that reaches deep down into the corners of our introspection, drawing a compelling parallel between our mental lives and the delicate and fragile nature of our skin both in its gleaming and bruising. The sonic landscape weaves together unconventional texture, dissonant harmony and intricate rhythm schemes to create an abstract and avant-garde soundscape.

WINTERSKIN's ballad-like emotion is imbued with an underlying sense of shyness and claustrophobia. The interplay between the tender vocal delivery and the abstract and aesthetic poetry creates an atmosphere that is ethereal and feels like the lingering remittance of another world. Delving into the notion of the body as a vehicle for dreaming and a world of creativity, Otis reflects on the delicate balancing act between the beauty and fragility of our internal lives that shape our relationships to the world and others.

The album's production embraces its experimentation and stands in the inspiration of artists like Moor Mother, Yves Tumor, and Noname.
