"For fans of Khruangbin, El Michels Affair, Madlib, and Bonobo. Will Dorey aka Skinshape has proven himself time and again a connoisseur for the cosmopolitan, across a prolific career expertly exploring understated sounds and theatrical textures. Taking his place alongside the likes of Khruangbin, Tame Impala, Bonobo and Madlib, Skinshape's global kaleidoscopes are loaded with warmth and wisdom created on vintage analogue equipment applying a perfectionist's touch. As a former member of indie band Palace, he has played everywhere from Glastonbury and BBC Maida Vale to headlining Shepherd's Bush Empire. Speaking on his latest record Craterellus Tubaeformis, Dorey remarks, 'As I continue to make albums, I always try to capture some elements of the original Skinshape style. Here I ran through albums 1-3. This record is really an echo of the Life & Love era of Skinshape, playful psychedelia, with punchy beats, fun surprises, and an attempt at meaningful lyrics.' Named after a very specific genus of edible mushroom, Craterellus Tubaeformis shares all the attributes of its nutritious counterpart due to how difficult both are to cultivate. Skinshape's music is the product of a highly devoted and meticulous composer who uses some of the rarest analogue equipment out there. The product is such a definitive sound heard nowhere else but so easily identified as Skinshape."
