Skeleton Fur Records

An introduction.

A Dragonfly with Skeleton Fur? Yes.
Skeleton Fur is a small label based out of Saint Louis, Missouri with a current focus on indie-experimental-noisy-melodic-psychedelic-punk. In addition to “standard” music albums, Skeleton Fur will feature less conventional and often orphaned types of compositions (short bursts, long-form instrumentals, alternate arrangements, antagonistic collaborations, sound collages, failed experiments, ?????, etc…).

Debut Single from Space is a Black Cat

We're stoked to finally release "Finally Sleeping", the first single from Space is a Black Cat. This single, paired with the b-side "Isometric Disguise" were pulled from dreams, nightmares, and paranoia yet bounce along with some fairly upbeat yet sideways drum patterns. The songs move and shift like a dream where you are driving way too fast but the controls no longer work. Ryan Wasoba and BirdCloud Studios mixed everything. Lyric video by Bit Crushed Video.

Make sure your headphones and speakers are in good working order, there's a new Bagheera album coming soon. Heather and Theodore have taken their time and crafted a unique music experience that ranges from the subtle and intimate to the bombastic and chaotic, yet is cohesively glued together with planetary motifs and imagery as well as their intertwined voices. Listening through headphones highlights the many individual melodies that float through space and wrap around each other, producing a dynamic tapestry of sound.

Recording updates.

We have a lot of new music in the works right now. In June, Bagheera started work on a new album with all the core tracks recorded at Bird Cloud Recording. The songs are snappy and dynamic, with a lot of 90 degree turns and jumps into different time signatures. The band are deep in production mode adding extra layers of fuzz and analog synths to reinforce some of the tonal shifts. As usual they will probably take their sweet time so be patient.

Space is A Black Cat are perpetually making new soundscape recordings and like Bagheera, taking their time with the finer details. Their debut single 'Finally Sleeping' and its b-side will be dropping soon for streaming and download. Not sure how all of their releases are going to be packaged but we'll find out together. :) There's a lot of music there is just a matter of getting it all finalized.

Have a joyous holiday season and an amazing 2023. Cheers.

Quarantined

Quarantined. We're all going through this together. We're busy watching old Japanese monster movies, gardening, and working on some new music. If you are new to our little collective, please check out some of our music by Bagheera and Climber while you're passing the time. Downloads and streams are always free. Stay safe and go support your local businesses in any way you can. Peace.

Fall 2019 Update

Hey all!

It's been pretty low-key over here at Skeleton Fur. That's generally how we have always been. We have interests in gardening and astronomy which always seem to take priority over blogging and updates. Never fear though, we've also been knee-deep in new music and videos. Bagheera is working on new material and we have a couple of other projects that are slowly getting ready to debut. They also released a new music video for the song "Lunar Elegy for the Motherboard". Heather's nephew Rio filmed and edited it.

Listening Party

Bagheera and the Tick Tock Tavern in Saint Louis will be hosting a listening party for "Shooting Rockets Towards the Sun" on Friday April 7 at 8 pm. The band will be on hand for drinks and awkward conversations.
