Skullcrusher Announces Debut Album 'Quiet The Room'

Skullcrusher, the musical project of Helen Ballentine, has announced her debut album.
'Quiet The Room' will arrive on October 14, and follows the Los Angeles artist's self-titled and 'Storm In Summer' EPs, released in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Alongside the news, Ballentine has shared the spectral, acoustic guitar-strummed first single, Whatever Fits Together, which comes paired with an equally haunting video by Silken Weinberg. Ballentine said:
"I wrote Whatever Fits Together while reflecting on my past and wondering how I might begin to explain it to someone. I viewed my younger self through a wash of emotions: anger, sadness, pity, confusion, all reaching for a kind of compassion. I tried to capture the contradictions that comprise my past and define who I am now. As I looked back, I saw my life in pieces: some moments blacked out, some extremely vivid, some leading nowhere. Through the song I attempt to piece it together in some non-linear form and accept my disparate story."
Skullcrusher will be making festival appearances in the US and Canada this summer, before a show in London on August 31, and sets at End Of The Road in Salisbury, and Manchester's Psych Fest. She'll return for more North American dates in the fall. Head here for details.
