I became aware of Tim Sköld’s existence when he temporarily joined Marilyn Manson. I don’t remember where I learned that he was a member of KMFDM, but I assumed that was where he came from. It wasn’t until last year that I stumbled across his solo work.
Anomie has two of my favorite songs by Sköld — “(This is My) Elephant” and “Suck” — and that’s why it is my album of the week.
Simon Curtis — “Flesh”
Simon Curtis — “D.T.M. (Dead to Me)”
Lord of the Lost — “Sex on Legs,” from the album Antagony (2011).
Florence + the Machine — “Shake It Out”
Fever Ray — “The Wolf”
Adelita’s Way — “Criticize”
BrokenRail — “My Escape”
BrokenRail — “Insanity”
Look, I’m not a huge fan of rap music, but when my friends and I used to play Mortal Kombat, we would always sing this song when someone chose Cyrax or Scorpion. Lol. Yeah, we’re nerds.
Wiz Khalifa — “Black and Yellow”
