Swedish experimental post-punk group the Skull Defekts shaped in 2005. Clamorous and atonal in character, the initial lineup presented Daniel Fagerström, Henrik Rylander, Jean-Louis Huhta, and Joachim Nordwall for 2007’s Bloodstream Spirits & Drums Are Performing and 2009’s The Temple. In 2011, previous Lungfish vocalist Daniel Higgs was brought in to the fold because the 5th member and frontman. Peer Amid premiered later that 12 months on Thrill Jockey Information, exactly the same label that released Higgs’ avant-garde single function. The group joined the studio room in 2013 with several loose suggestions, ironing them out to their sprawling-yet-catchy 4th album Dances within the Dreams of the Known Unfamiliar.
