Release Radar: Elliott Skinner Opens the Door with How Far We’ve Come
A debut is an invitation. Before the expectations get too loud, there is that lovely moment when an artist gets to introduce a world of their own. This weekend, Elliott Skinner is on our discovery list with his debut solo EP, How Far We’ve Come, out now through Ninja Tune, as announced on his official website.
The release announcement points to “Carols of My Mind,” featuring Victoria Canal and Radamiz, while “That Kid” brings Jensen McRae into the picture. Skinner is also taking the music on the road in North America supporting anaiis. Rachel Stone’s release report for BroadwayWorld has the additional details.
Why does that catch our ear before a full review? We like a discovery that gives us several doors to open: a new project, collaborators to explore, and a live setting where the songs can develop a life beyond their recordings. That is an appealing starting point for readers who enjoy following the connections between artists rather than letting an algorithm do all the choosing.
We’re putting this one on the table as a fresh introduction, not handing down a verdict before giving the whole project its time. Take a little room out of your weekend, follow the names that interest you, and see where the music takes you.
Visit Skinner’s official page to listen and explore his dates. Keep an eye out for a fuller review here at the Box; for now, consider the discovery door open.
