STAND ATLANTIC have premiered their new song SKINNY DIPPING. It is the third single off the Sydney trio’s upcoming album SKINNY DIPPING, out October 26.
Speaking on the new song, vocalist/guitarist Bonnie Fraser explained, “Skinny Dipping is about coming to terms with who you are. Sometimes addressing your own truth can be a very daunting thing and feel so isolating. Skinny Dipping is about releasing that fear and accepting yourself completely.”
Awash in ’90s vibrancy and bounce, the title track finds Fraser coming to terms with her sexuality, fighting through a haze of self-doubt en route to a celebration of her true identity. “Skinny dipping can be seen as an innocent thing you do for fun,” she explains. “But at the same time, you’re naked and vulnerable and exposing yourself to anything in there. There are things in life I sometimes feel are either unimportant or something I shouldn’t be talking about. It can be so isolating to be truly honest, but to have people accept you is so freeing.”
Skinny Dipping is poised to build on that success and take them even further. The unfiltered honesty of the album’s 10 tracks showcases an emotional maturity beyond Stand Atlantic’s collective years, a keen sense of self-awareness and desire to be unconditionally authentic even when – and perhaps especially when – it breaks their hearts.
Skinny Dipping is now available for pre-order. When pre-ordered digitally, fans will receive an instant download of “Skinny Dipping”, “Lost My Cool” and “Lavender Bones”.
