Album of the Week: Sköld’s Anomie
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.
