notes

Small town boy...big voice

Skip Peri could be easy to miss, his unassuming manner, his shy smile, his easygoing stride. While growing up in small town Carnation, WA, Peri found something big...his voice. That you can't miss. With the arrival of his debut CD, "Naked," that voice is beginning to get noticed.

Peri's tunes draw upon the familiar themes of love and loss but infuse them with an energy and intensity that is remarkably honest and poignant. He has a voice that carries his lyrics from the depths of despair to a blistering falsetto.

Recorded mostly in a spare bedroom, "Naked" is the offspring of the music industry's new breed; a modest, accessible pop record made for peanuts. Skip surrounded himself with people he trusted and proceeded to get the sounds he heard in his head onto disc. He tapped first-time producer Jonathan Kingham to produce and The A-Team (Evan Brubaker & Troy Glessner) to mix. Ironically, despite his small town style, "Naked" has a sound that is decidedly urban.


"Naked" fuses drum loops and tight acoustic guitars with pulsing bass lines to deliver songs that make you both forget and remember at once. From the anthemic opening track 'You Don't Know Me Anymore' to the soft atmospherics of the title track, Skip shifts effortlessly from an angry dismissal to a subtly suggestive come-on. His voice is the focus of his music, his lyrics a balance between poetry and raw emotion. He infuses each song with an energy and intensity that is both compellingly original and achingly familiar. The end result is a musical mash of Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Bobby Womack.”

  • First Sound Of My Day
    author: Austin of Sundrip Journals

    Wonderful. It's the first music I've heard today. I haven't turned on the TV or the radio as of yet. I logged onto a journal and your song began. I clicked the link to your site and wonderful went to fantastic. Very nice.

  • Add this one to your collection!
    author: Michael Brady JackTown Records

    Laced with deep thoughtful lyrics this cd is captivating. A rare find, Skip sings from the soul. His vocal abilities shine through on each tune. Well produced and deserving of attention, add this to your collection.

    Sporting a John Mayer and Jeff Buckley knack for folk-based, acousto-electric Pop that rushes in to steal your breath, this boy knows how to rock it up, rock it down and seduce you between the lines of lyrical inventiveness. So let us do our job here as indie gurus and present the catchy, upbeat ingenuity of the "small town boy.. big voice." Whoo hoo!

  • Amazing CD
    author: Alyson

    I love this CD so much. I bought it on a hunch because I listened to one song on CDbaby. It was so worth it! The lyrics are brilliant. I love every single song!

  • awesome cd, better than most i hear everyday on the radio
    author: Marcie

    This is an amazing cd. Skip's voice is so beautifully unique and the songs are the type of song you'll want to listen to over and over. Keep up the good work Skip.

  • Pefection in 10 songs
    author: Shea

    Greatest CD made...ever---brutally honest lyrics, infecting guitar and drums, a voice that makes you know that this is REAL music and emotion. What else would you want in a CD and for your money?

  • Beautiful voice and beautiful songs.
    author: Craig Goldie

    This is the first CD I've bought in a long time that I've been unable to stop playing. Skip has an amazing voice that has lots of power and emotion even when singing quietly. The songs are clean,simple (but not simplistic), and beautiful. My favourites are 'You Don't Know Me Anymore','Saints of Preservation' and 'Ashes of a fire'. I highly HIGHLY recommend this CD.

  • Great stuff.

    author: JTown

    Naked is one of the best cd's ive heard from an independant artist in a while. My favorite songs are "Hatred" and "Naked". If you like Jack Johnson,Dispatch, or howie day you should definitley pick this one up, it's a keeper.

  • Original and inspiring music; keep it coming !!
    author: Cliff Turpin, (CroSSwindZ)

    Very original and inspiring music. I love acoustic style music that is done well, and this CD is done very well. It is refreshing to find someone with a great original voice that maintains the emotion throughout the range. I absolutely love each song!! Well Done!!

  • author: Pammy

    Awesome CD. Very emotionally moving. This guy is awesome and I'm looking forward to more music from him!

  • Naked is one of the finest albums I've heard.
    author: skip fan

    I've listened to Naked practically daily since I was able to get my hands on it. Skip's amazing vocal range & lyrics combined with an original music are able to take the listener to a place where they never thought possible. From the raw emotion in Hatred to the sweet sadness of Untitled(portrait of a woman with child), Skip's ability to evoke emotion though the music is something rare & beautiful. I recomend this album to any listener who wants to be moved.
