The first Sunken Skulls release is appropriately rare and deep with meaning, like the band. Their live sets are so elusive that the Skulls take on a new “life” for me in this recording; it sounds posthumous. But it ain’t, members Gym Sweat and Metis Yeti are up on the boards all the time and it’s all on solid ground, which is what you want. A second run is in progress, this time in the double digits. Laura Gainey learned to sail tall ships and was swept off of one and drowned in 2006. A staunch remembrance on the first anniversary of Laura’s passing.
