About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 . Hardly The Same Snake is Skinny Pelembe's sophomore album, but his first fully embracing his artistic self. Visceral yet inherently soulful, Hardly The Same Snake is the sound of the Johannesburg-born, Doncaster-raised artist finally finding his voice - both literally and figuratively. In practical terms, that involved finding the courage to foreground his gravelly baritone in these gloriously genre-agnostic productions. But it also meant branching out beyond the safety net of his former tag - Gilles' Peterson's Brownswood Recordings - to figure out the artist he truly wanted to be. As Skinny puts it today, in his soft South Yorkshire drawl, InchThis album is what I would have created, first time round had I rated my own voice.Inch Determined that the album shouldn't sound like a band record, but equally mustn't feel Inchtoo button push-yInch, Skinny assembled songs by sampling instrumentation originally recorded live, including chopped and looped versions of the brilliantly complex beats played by Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics. It was a painstaking process that paid off, resulting in an album fathoms ahead of it's promising predecessor, and one that honestly reflects Skinny's creative evolution. The idea of forging your own path - and shedding skin, so to speak - is integral to Hardly The Same Snake. It's a defiantly outward-looking record contemplating family, religion and major life milestones, from parenthood to death.

Once Bitten... by The Snakes returns on vinyl, delivering a compelling blend of classic hard rock and melodic blues. Featuring former Whitesnake guitarists Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody alongside the powerhouse vocals of Jørn Lande, this 1998 album captures the energy and soul of late '80s rock with a fresh, passionate edge. The album shines with memorable riffs, dynamic songwriting, and a balance between gritty rockers and heartfelt ballads. Tracks like InchLabour Of LoveInch and InchReal FaithInch showcase the band's skill in blending powerful melodies with raw emotion, while the tight musicianship and polished production by Ronni Le Tekrø highlight the experience and chemistry of the lineup. This vinyl reissue offers fans and collectors a chance to rediscover The Snakes' vibrant sound-a must-have for lovers of melodic hard rock and timeless guitar-driven music.
According to Plaschg a.k.a. Soap & Skin, there have always been cover versions in her repertoire simply because Inchit feels good to escape from myselfInch. Without it being immediately recognized as such, there's been a cover on every Soap & Skin album since 2012's Narrow, Plaschg's tentacles extending through every piece. Torso, if you like, is an exhibition of what lies behind the masks of others. The covers album was recorded in Vienna by an ensemble under her direction. InchFor the first time,Inch she adds. InchIt's actually more my style to assemble the music in a safe space, alone at home, from previously recorded samples.Inch Still, maybe what is created collaboratively must be recorded collaboratively too. No artist in the world covers music as movingly as Soap & Skin.
