Skeleton Lipstick - Glow Then Melts


Here's something new for a Monday morning.  Skeleton Lipstick is a "existential hypnagogic pop" band out of Philadelphia.  They've got a new LP entitled Glow Then Melts coming out on July 4th on Airlines Tapes.  It's also being released on limited edition casette tapes (feels like my childhood).  SL reminds me a bit of Kavinsky meets... something more lo-fi?  This is totally a textured and dirty affair but retro all at once.  There's a ton of synth goodness and a pumping beat at the heart of it.  Don't let the bizarre name and haunting artwork fool you...
