The FIXX’s acclaimed guitarist, Jamie West-Oram, is set to release his first-ever solo album: SKELETON KEY. The new effort comes hot on the heels of The FIXX’s critically-acclaimed EVERY FIVE SECONDS album, which was released last year.
The funk-inspired instrumental showcases West-Oram’s diverse guitar chops and is inspired by the work of guitar great Leslie West (Mountain). Of “Knuckle Down”, Jamie West-Oram commented, “The piece expresses the liberation we feel when we stop dithering and get things done. I wanted the album to have a powerful opener and ‘Knuckle Down’ was the one.”

‘Lost Today’ is a collection of introspective haunting songs and embodies the compelling moods and emotions of the members of the band. Overall, the music is a translation of contradictions in life. Disorientations muses about the intense attraction and repulsion of loving people around us and the appearance of rough emptiness when you lose something fragile.
By experimenting with additional guitar layers and atypical song structures, their new music opens up an exciting path towards an alternative and mature sound that seems to reconcile the sharp bursts of noise rock, the melancholic atmosphere of post-punk and an airy wall of sound reminiscent of the early 90s shoegaze vibe.
With ‘Lost Today’, Disorientations seems ready to take a whole new path. A musical search that seeks to capture a complex palette of emotions, in a world that seems lost in its own contradictions.
