A stunning debut from the new-generation dream pop band mariin k., led by songwriter Mariin Kallikorm, best known for her work as a guitarist with Tricky and Wyldest. Written and produced by Kallikorm, with Rein Fuks (Pia Fraus) on drums, rose skin is an intimate blend of shoegaze soundscapes and mesmerizing melodies. "rose skin is about embracing your vulnerabilities while learning how to protect yourself," Kallikorm explains. "The songs reflect on turning weaknesses into strengths, navigating love and heartbreak, and facing yourself without fear." Following the success of free alice—which captured the paradox of love and freedom—and beach, a staple on alternative radio, rose skin takes listeners on a lush, introspective journey through shimmering guitars and ethereal textures. The album explores themes of womanhood, fleeting romance, fragility, and self-discovery. Releasing on May 8th, rose skin concludes with the final single, foam, accompanied by a VHS-shot video capturing the band’s raw performance. A dreamy yet driven meditation on solitude and self-acceptance, foam reflects on holding onto the past without letting it define you—echoing the album’s overarching themes of fragility and resilience. 01. rose skin 02. beach 03. free alice 04. annie 05. puddle 06. easy 07. just wait 08. foam 09. did u forget 10. chelsa
