Blackout Beach

Skin of Evil

Blackout Beach is Carey Mercer (from Frog Eyes and Swan Lake) in a solo mode, and Skin of Evil is his second full-length. Skin of Evil is remarkable in the sense that a. it contains a story, and b. it sticks to the story; a rare occurrence in these free times. “Donna” is the subject, and each of her lovers (past & present) say their peace in song (Donna gets her song, too).

“Maybe it’s about a girl, about salvation’s undoing through romantic love, wreckage of this kind…No matter, the important thing is that this is the first time I’ve REALLY heard theatrics AND atmospherics in a record, and such an abundance of both.” – Dan Bejar
