Skin is a Blues act. Their sound grew out of Betty Davis, Björk, K's Choice, Bastille and Nicole Moudaber. Those roots explain a lot about how Skin arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Skunk Anansie, Garbage, K's Choice, Placebo and PJ Harvey, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence.
