Belfast duo Skibunny release their debut album today. Entitled 'Hugs' the LP is a delightful fusion of crunchy, electronic pop and washed out indie cool. (Think Goldfrapp crossed with New Order).
Particular highlights include the blissful opener 'Aah Ooh' and the ingenious re imagining of The Afgan Wigs classic ‘Miles Iz Ded’.
‘Hugs’ is an optimistic record, full of uplifting sonic gems, there’s the odd surprise thrown in there too, a delightful guest spot from Kaori Tsuchida from The GO! Team being a case in point. With the album getting plenty of attention already, a Bestival appearance in the bag and several upcoming live dates on the horizon, Skibunny will undoubtedly be busy… ahem… bunny’s over the next couple of months.
The album is available on Itunes from 27/09/10, hit the bands website or myspace for more info.
