Album Notes & Community Reviews

Kevin Barnes pushes his funk-glam persona Georgie Fruit to the limit on this manic, sexually explicit album. 'Skeletal Lamping' features fragmented song structures that shift rapidly between genres and moods. It is a chaotic, colorful, and controversial follow-up to 'Hissing Fauna'.
