Jasamine White-Gluz’s love of creepy crawlies inspires a project reflecting the many sounds of nature through a shoegaze lens.
“I was driving all along the highway/thought about swerving in the other lane/right in front of a bus or a big semi truck… it’s not that I’m looking to die… looking over the edge, I feel alive,” sings Skinny Dyck on “Nosedive,” about halfway through his understated and excellent release this year.
At its core, it’s a country album, but Skinny Dyck’s country not only dreams about leaving a podunk hometown, but stopping in at all the dive bars on the way out for one last dance, seeing the world through bleary eyes and a full heart.
