‘Weird Skin’ is the second album from Auld Gods following their debut ‘Older, Wiser?’ in 2022. Auld Gods are loose trio of grumpy old Belfast born musicians who established the band during the pandemic. They work with layers of guitars, synth, keyboards, brass, strings and noise over a rhythm section varying from song to song from bass guitar and drums to bass synths and electronic percussion. The album is stylistically varied reflecting the three very different songwriters.
The album kicks off with ‘Breathe’, very much a rock song with a quiet verse loud chorus pattern, augmented with some quiet strings over a dirty bass and a host of guitars including slide. This is followed immediately by the contrasting ‘Questions’ building from a Fender Rhodes and vocal intro snapping into bass and drums at the minute mark and supporting the lyrics, snatched from overheard conversations, with a variety of guitar and synth riffs building slowly over the song.
The album continues with a mixture of out and out rock songs and diversions into electronica and near folk, experimenting with alternative instrumentation including double bass, strings, brass, saxophones, timpani, uilleann pipes, old synthesisers and plain old noise. All the time working around Marty Williamsons guitars and Davy McLarnons vocals. It's worth a listen through as there’s probably something in here to tickle most sonic taste buds.

The release date will be Friday 1st March when it will be available on most streaming services including:
