We had the amazing opportunity to check out the debut album “Skeletons” from Private Dicks frontman Gav King.

You can listen to “Skeletons” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here and Amazon Music Here

Almost 50 years after the formation of Bristol (UK) punk group Private Dicks,frontman Gav King delivers his stunning debut solo album “Skeletons “

With help from fellow Private Dicks‘ guitarist and life-long friend Paul Guiver and long-time Tears For Fears and Robbie Williams guitarist Neil Taylor – who also took on the production of the album – Skeletons is eight tracks of dark, catchy, post-punk angst.

We fell instantly for “Skeletons”, Gav King is an artful storyteller who uses his life experiences to craft memorable and authentic songs .

From the first note on “Shark Eyes” it is clear that “Skeletons “ is a genuine work of musical art.

As we noted last week “Profiled “ is a song that cannot be missed . you can check our review of “Profiled” Here.

“Blood and Blues” is a well written Bluesy, soulful and cinematic track that , literally will take your breath away – spectacular . We love the haunting end line in “Blood and Blues – “I hope I die Before I get old”

When asked about how the album came to be , Gav shares : “Everything that’s released now is viewed through the prism of the pandemic, Gavin reflects from his apartment in Bristol. “And in many ways, this is no different. Like everyone else I had been indoors for ages, but once I completed Netflix and finished arguing with the cat, I began to look at the state of the world today. And once I started doing that, I started looking back at my own life. Then before you know it a bunch of songs are sitting on my hard drive.”

Skeletons’ will be available on a limited edition (300) vinyl via Heartbeat Records.

The title track “Skeletons” is a beautiful melody with a flawless and inspiring vocal performance from Gav King .

With “Skeletons”, Gav King proves he is true rock and roll royalty.
