简介
Alien Skin is George Pappas, long-time keyboardist with legendary Australian band Real Life whose multi-million selling '80s smash Send Me An Angel is still a regular on radio playlists worldwide and covered by countless of underground, goth, Gregorian, pop & electro artists. In 2008, after a number of acclaimed albums and world tours with Real Life, covering the US, Europe and Australia, he morphed into Alien Skin releasing his highly praised debut album 'Don’t Open Till Doomsday'. Compared to 'Black Celebration' era Depeche Mode and vocally to Martin Gore (DM) & David Sylvian (Japan), this body of work further established his signature sound of vast emptiness and icy, electronic melancholia. The release in 2010 of 'The Unquiet Grave' album found the music of Alien Skin continuing to attract thousands of new devotees across the world with atmospheric songs of seductive gothic ambiance, woven together into mesmerizing webs. The album became an instant favourite. With the issue in 2012 of 'Ghost In The Rain' the eerie, mysterious cinema of these first two albums was further refined carving out a unique niche. 'The Secret Garden' album from 2013 continues the fixation with songs of beautiful unhurried melodies, atmosphere and a unique sense of murky, fluid electronic effervescence. - In 2014 Alien Skin delivered his most confident collection of atmospheric gems yet with the album 'Creature With The Human Face'. 'A Blue Sky at the Edge of the World' (2015) is a new lease of Alien Skin life, the atmospheric machines are supplemented by the warming female voice of Deity. 'Winter on Mars' (2016) despite its title is ironically the most earth bound album released by Alien Skin so far in his evolution. Full of organic blurry moods and cinematic story telling underpinned by erratic mutated guitar intertwined with his signature electronic palette. We also see the welcome return of female backing vocalist, Deity.
