Snakeskin is a Beirut-based duo of visionary electronic dream pop, shapeshifting above ambient and industrial undercurrents. Their music is moody, unsettling, luminous – the culmination of a decade of collaboration and friendship between producer/musician Fadi Tabbal and singer-songwriter Julia Sabra from indie trio Postcards.Lyrically, singer-songwriter Julia Sabra mines new depths to deliver her most vivid work yet, turning the violence around them into visceral poetry, exploring ever darker and deeper currents: “As soon as we started writing this album, the war on Gaza started, and that heavily influenced the writing. We were glued to our screens watching Palestinians being massacred 24/7 and feeling totally helpless, these images filled our nightmares at night. A lot of the songs are about the horrors, the racism, what it means to be Arab in these times and holding on to love as a way to stay sane through all of it.”
“Lebanese duo Snakeskin lurk within dark folk-tronic fissures and explore shapeshifting shoegaze-dreampop” Boomkat
“Snakeskin is a masterpiece that dreams not of renewal or rebirth but seeks to understand what feeling connected to this barren husk of a place means for us.” Foxy Digitalis
“the combination of Sabra’s pop-orientated vocal melodies cutting through Tabbal’s minimal yet brutalist musical architecture is both life-affirming and melancholy.” Norman Records
“Tabbal and Sabra are a match made in heaven […] Julia's sensuous, floating vocals are the perfect complement to Tabbal's gnarled and heaving soundscapes.” brainwashed.com
"They Kept Our Photographs feels as if from Bjork's extended universe, with more of a Broadcast-y thrum than Medulla and more of a shoegazy wooze than Vespertine" Drowned in Sound (No. 10 in their albums of 2024)
