Albums In the Shadow of Love

Press Reviews "sensual and dream-like...dark-dreaming vocals and earthy samples ...a bass and live percussion that makes the floor tremble" ALL ABOUT COPENHAGEN/BERLINGSKE TIDENDE (DK) "...Skin to Skin use musical means which inexorably reach every human being. It's about beats per minute; the power of tempo which touches our most primitive genes...clear, straightforward yet electronically advanced...Their soundscape doesn't resemble any other in the city...steady, recitative and emphasizing voices surrounded by an unobtrusive but steady force of sampled beats and live percussion... a grinding pulse with dark tunes that are lit by the lighter licks of the electric guitar and ingenious synth-loops...a unique and outstanding sound... SYDSVENSKA DAGBLADET (S) Skin to Skin move across musical boundaries...beautiful down-tempo-tracks are interchanged with more trance-influenced songs..." CLUB-MAGAZINE "BRUS" (S) "music that swings and winds like a snake across the floor" SWEDISH NATIONAL RADIO P3
