BASEMENT REVOLVER – “SKIN”
SONIC UNYON/FEAR OF MISSING OUT RECORDS
Hamiltonโs Basement Revolver has always centered around the friendship of bassist/keyboardist Nim Agalawatte and guitarist/vocalist Chrisy Hurn-Morrison. Lead guitarist Jonathan Malstrรถm and drummer Levi Kertesz round out the bandโs larger-than-life sound. With tour plans on hold through 2020, Basement Revolver found time to wrestle with questions about identity, faith, mental illness, and sexuality. Their forthcoming sophomore LP, Embody, is explicit about these new ideas and new thoughts, addressing them with a deeper sound and crisper production to adroitly express the complexity of the world.
โSkin,โ the first single to be shared from the album, is a self-aware slow burn. Desperate to feel like her body was okay or good enough, Chrisy was perched on the edge of a dock when this song began tumbling out. The first time she has ever explicitly written about the struggles she feels with her body, โSkinโ has helped Chrisy love the parts of her body that have often been scrutinized in the mirror.
