The Debut Album
Who Are SkyQuaker?
To the uninitiated, SkyQuaker seem a straight forward rock act. However, upon deeper investigation this could not be further from the truth.
SkyQuaker reveals itself as an intense, boundary breaking Avant-garde group whose music is seemingly rooted in Punk, Classical, Hard Rock, Metal, Cinematic, Funk, Jazz, Pop, Dub Reggae and beyond.
UK based Hard Rock Act SkyQuaker's first full length album, '1.5°', is finally here. Filled with riveting sound bites, highly skilled performances and powerful vocal lines, this album showcases the vast talent and uniqueness within this band.
The project mixes rock, jazz and bhangra and doesn't disappoint with the collaborations. In the track '5 Claw', we are welcomed with the entrancing Punjabi vocals from Bhangra composer and radio DJ, Dav Singh. Later on in the album, the jazzy track 'I'm Alright Jaques' exhibits brilliant performances from Paul Jordanous and Mike Garson, the career pianist for David Bowie. As the band's first LP, it's a buzzing start, providing a brilliantly unique project for those looking for a cultured and colourful listen.
