Skin Yard "1000 Smiling Knuckles" (4th album)

Cruz Records CR-017, issued on vinyl and CD autumn '91. Now with Barrett Martin drumming, regrouped and fully functional, we made what many feel was the definitive Skin Yard record. Recorded winter '90/'91 on a two-inch Otari MX-80 at 15 ips with no noise reduction. We were very happy with this one and it was our most successful record by far. Much touring took place; that March, Daniel (who had just become a father) left the band and was replaced by Pat Pedersen on bass. The year concluded with our only tour of Europe, playing places as far-flung as Bergen, Norway and Ljubljana, Slovenia.
