New York City’s SKORTS announce their debut album Incompletement, out 31 October. Alongside this exciting announcement, SKORTS share the first track, ‘Burden’ – our single of the week!
SKORTS is composed of lead singer and guitarist Alli Walls, lead guitarist Char Smith, bassist Emma Welch, and drummer Max Berdik.
“Whether it’s yours or mine, it’s an honor to bear your burden and that is as certain as the elements of this earth.”

Char Smith shares that ‘Burden’ is “A song from the VERY early days that fell out of our live rotation for a while and almost got completely swept under the rug but our producer, Teddy O’Mara, wanted to bring it back. It was one of the two original demos we released to SoundCloud (‘Cyclops Girlfriend’ being the other). There is a video of us playing it in its original form somewhere but the groove and structure really got refined in the studio. Alli recorded the main guitar riff on my ‘69 Gibson SG Special.”
