‘Thin Skin’ is Julie Christmas’s ferocious new track from her upcoming album Ridiculous and Full of Blood. The album will be released June 14th ahead of her live dates including Leeds, London & Arctangent.
Following the sweetly anthemic previous single ‘Supernatural’, new track ‘Thin Skin’ is a tempestuous thrill ride where Christmas unleashes her signature ferocious, chest-caving roars.
“Broadway Showcore, anyone?” Christmas comments on the making of the new track. “When we write, usually the kick off comes from 1 or 2 off us. Chris Enriquez (Spotlights) and John LaMacchia (Candiria) kicked this one off, and Johannes (Cult of Luna) jumped right on it. Get this in your ears and try to do anything slow or relaxed, you won’t be able to. The only way for Andrew, Tom and I to answer on this one was to go over the top and in unexpected directions. It’s a little Nu Metal, a little punk, a little bit Broadway showtunes and alot of stupid, nasty and FUN. In Thin Skin we visit our deranged, shout-y roots, where the rage is covered with giggles and the lights are a little too bright. Get it!”

On Ridiculous and Full of Blood Christmas says, “I want people to hear the sad heroine, vile villains, dreamy characters at play, squalor, madness, longing, challenge, triumph, beauty, and love. This story is a little different, it isn’t all fairytale. It speaks to how human nature defies categorisation. The kindest person commits immeasurable acts of cruelty, the monster loves their friend. We are all like that.”
