[Mt. Ben]

It is extremely unwise to allow one’s press officer to mention Boards of Canada as point of comparison for one’s debut album. Skoud does not sound like Boards of Canada. Boards of Canada sound like Boards of Canada because of their hours spent in the studio with Boards of Canada. I’m not sure I even like Boards of Canada that much and I can make the distinction. Lacking the eerie transpostional wobbles and mercurial organics of the Scots’ work, Skoud’s debut album sounds more like Pole, Plaid and Pilote.

Russians really do have great ideas sometimes. Take Roman Abramovich. Buying a football team with Russian blood money has created a money-spinner that is taking over the English football league with all the power of a vicious and ruthless imperial superpower (I wonder if Roman wears Darth Vader costumes on weekends? Or maybe it’s the Emperor that he identifies with more clearly.) Now, here again we have someone who has decided to move away from the frozen landscapes of Russia, and set up here in the UK. However, there is little football influence in this Carlisle-based electronica artist.
