Philly’s Pink Skull has just come out with a second full-length, titled Endless Bummer. Featuring an admirable array of different sounds and textures, the album is perhaps best represented by “Oh, Monorail.” A slow-motion disco beat, horizon-seeking guitar lines, and some synth swells mark the piece, but it is really Julian S Process’ multi-layered vocal harmonies that make it special, as they’re not only gorgeous, but complex and original—there are no simple chord progressions here. “Oh, Monorail” simply shimmers with a weirdness and beauty that only Pink Skull can pull off.
