Skux is Ayisha
Jaffer in her new project, spawned musically from a love of
punk and a life-long admiration of the riot grrl movement. With the material
co-written with Dan
Walker of The
Death Set, Jaffer performs the work with her band between New
Zealand and New York. This release comes in the form of a two-track, double
A-side single titled The
Two Sides of She debuting today on Noisey.
Musically and lyrically, Skux explores different states of mind to empathize
with her listeners, and the two tracks that make up The Two Sides of She are as strikingly
contrasted in vibe as calm waters to raw vitriol. More Than 10 Things is based off the 90’s classic film, 10
Things I Hate About You, but delivered with a twist, while On Her Way is a
narrative based around a traveling woman in both work and in adventure. “Both
tracks are very different but let's be real... sides, both are you, her, me,
she”, Jaffer explains.
“I wanted to make something that portrayed my states of purgatory that others can relate to I'm sure and use my roots that lie in straight punk and are inspired by the riot grrrl movement a bit growing up. Writing with Dan Walker of The Death Set, a group that I think is some of the most raw punk out there was the perfect fit in creating this project. Skux as.”
