Skátar

about

An oft-quoted cliché goes: “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” Now, dancing about architecture is clearly weird and potentially stupid, but it also sounds kind of fun. And it seems weirdly fitting when describing the music of Skátar. Listen: The music of Skátar is like dancing about architecture. It’s weird and fun and unpredictable and potentially stupid. And it is certainly made without any regard whatsoever to anyones expectations, or perceptions. And it is fucking great. --- Band bios will often trace the story of the band in question: So-and- so met so-and-so and they did such-and-such and then so-and-so left due to artistic differences and their friend so-and-so filled in on drums. Then so-and-so joined and the band was finally an artistic whole and thus Band X is as astonishingly astonishing as this bio claims it to be. Fill in the blanks. This is unbelievably boring. Unless, maybe, some interesting drug- problems, heart-attacks or lawsuits are involved.We will forego that. Instead, let us count some facts about Skátar, for those of you researching potential articles (and Skátar deserve a lot of potential articles): -Skátar were formed in 2001. -Their (usually around six or so) members, past and present, come from a plethora of bands you’ve never heard of. And RETRON. -Skátar released an OK demo, a great, if terrible sounding, EP, all on their own grassroots label, Grandmother’s Records -Skátar released their début LP this summer
