Shorn of hair, skin, muscles and internal organs, Skeletons Songs is a collection of sketches from Catherine AD. These recordings creep not from a plush studio via a boardroom but crawl into your ears from a bedroom with creaky floorboards and the gentle lull of passing traffic.
The idea was simple: go back to the source. Using the bare bones of the original demo recording of each song, nothing was re-recorded and every mistake, hesitation and human error was preserved. Some songs were layered up with virtual one-man-band choirs, while others remain in their raw form, sung quietly into corners so as not to wake up the neighbours...
