12 brand new songs in the Acid Campfire tradition. Welcome to the strange world of 2018, its weather and its global challenges. And welcome back, please, to the world of SKELLINGTON. What the? Yes, Julian Cope has resuscitated his long dormant Skellington project with the recording of new songs. Each one was captured in that loose, quick-fire Skellington style: bucolic ditties, muscular adventures, moderne interactions, tipsy interludes, even classy rock'n'roll of the post-punk persuasion. So what makes SKELLINGTON 3 a worthy successor to those previously released? Everything! For Cope has utilized the considerable experience gained from constructing those previous albums, and he has harnessed the studio time with the skill of a micro-manager! Oh yeah, and daubing his Mellotron 400 over everything - 25 years on, that's one little addition that was unavailable to him Back In The Day. Occasionally humorous, never timorous, ALWAYS sumptuous!
