Bootblacks - Thin Skies

Thin Skies showcases Bootblacks refining their post-punk sound with a sharper electronic edge and a more streamlined approach to songwriting. The album blends driving rhythms, shimmering synths, and brooding guitar textures into a tight nine-track set that leans into darkwave and synthpop influences without abandoning their gritty roots. Produced by Jason Corbett (of ACTORS), the record emphasizes mood and momentum, with tracks like “Traveling Light” and “The Jealous Star” delivering hook-laden choruses alongside atmospheric depth. At just over 30 minutes, Thin Skies is a sleek, nocturnal album that balances dancefloor energy with introspective tones, marking a key step forward in the band’s evolution.
