Farao is a young Norwegian based in London, with links to Tuung. ‘Skin’ is a powerful, dramatic song that trades on her sometimes wistful, sometimes harsh voice, with a dense instrumental backing and some clunky drums. The cover picture on the single’s sleeve is great too; the designer’s cut half her head off, but in a nice way. 

Ghosting Season are two dark Manc lads who also use the wonderful name ‘worriedaboutsatan’. Their remix sorts out the drums, but makes Skin sound like Everything but the Girl; it will probably do well on the cooler dance floors, but takes away some of Farao’s originality.
