The majority of the nine slithery songs that comprise supernowhere's <i>Skinless Takes A Flight</i> were originally cuts that didn't make their debut Gestalt - But after collectively moving across the country from Burlington, VT to Seattle, WA, the scrapped tracks transformed substantially into florid, at times entrancing compositions.

The pulsating 'Circles' opens the album with lilted reflections on empathy, breathing in midtempo syncopation with subdued guitar tip- toeing around melodic drumming. supernowhere's cast of Meredith Davey (bass, vocals), Kurt Pacing (guitar, vocals), and Matt Anderson (drums) share a collective ambition for maximum interplay and collaborative writing, materialising cleanly knotted compositions that evoke vivid dreamscapes and the profound epiphanies drawn from them ('The Hand', 'Ecdysis'). On upbeat 'Dirty Tangle' Davey's voice glides through Pacing's angular arpeggiations, carving her own rhythmic lane with her distinctive, descanting singing style.

<i>Skinless Takes A Fligh</i>t notably would not have come to fruition without the help of engineer Dylan Hanwright (mix. Gulfer, mem. Great Grandpa, I Kill Giants), whom the band met shortly after relocating to Seattle. Hanwright offered up the studio where the album was recorded as a temporary rehearsal and writing space during the pandemic, which in turn gave him intimate familiarity with the music, resulting in an album that was recorded as intimately as it was written. Hanwright helped make the little moments shine too, as heard in the fleeting vocal harmonies on "Augury", or the spiralling chaos in "Basement Window," a further testament to the collaborative, everyone's- input matters nature that characterises supernowhere's dizzying yet meditative sophomore record.
