Album Review
A draw of breath and the sound of an object plunging into water kicks off Skindiving from the British trio Submarine, led by Japanese vocalist Adaesi Ukairo. It heralds an enchanting blend of dance-influenced trip-pop. The act throws in samples from sources like Chet Baker and Perry Como, but never let the electronica elements overwhelm the wonderful pop sensibilities of songs like the sardonically confessional "Sunbeam" or sultry (and slightly creepy) "Heartfailure." Less dense than a band like Garbage, there is an airiness to the melodies that complements the often whimsical vocals of kairo). The lyrics are more literate and straight-forward than many similar acts and there are some definite gems like the yearning "Evergreen," the dreamy "Sweet Life," and the neurotic "Welcome To This World," with it's captivating juxtaposition of manic dance beats and Chet Baker sample. There's nary a throwaway track, making Skindiving recommended listening for fans of bands like Hooverphonic or olive.
Recent Customer Reviews
Wish they made more than one album!
by SonOfALinkI bought this album a long time ago when Sunbeam was playing on college radio. The whole album is awesome, but I must say Evergreen, Girl Who Fell to Earth, and Blow Me Away are simply outstanding.
One Of My Favorites!!!
by DJ ERIC ILLJust buy the whole album and listen to it from start to finish just like you would for Dark Side Of The Moon (no comparison here just an example). This band would have been huge if they opened for a national act.
Evergreen "I close my eyes . . . "
by DJ CartwrightI've listned to the song Evergreen for years (discovering it on a samper "Gay Pride-2000"), and I finally got around to buying the album 7 years later! Evergreen is very much an I-tune buy, and I've listened to the single for years. I enjoyed the album--good beats and melodies that don't get lost by being over mixed. Still, I get a chill when I hear Evergreen--it's that good of a song.
