Formed when stepsisters Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse were just nine and 13\, the Oklahoma-bred band have ch anneled their chameleonic musicality into a sound they call “ugly-pop\, ” unruly and subversive and wildly melodic. With Kelli’s brother Kurti s Mayo joining on drums in 2017\, they’ve also built a close-knit commun ity of fans while earning the admiration of their musical forebears\, a fe at that’s found them collaborating with icons like X’s Exene Cervenka and Beat Happening’s Calvin Johnson\, touring with Babes In Toyland\, an d starring as the subject of a feature-length documentary. On their double album Chaos County Line\, Skating Polly reach a whole new level of self-p ossession\, ultimately sharing their most expansive and emotionally powerf ul work to date.The follow-up to 2018’s The Make It All Show\, Chaos Cou nty Line finds Skating Polly working again with Brad Wood\, the acclaimed producer behind indie-rock classics like Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville. As their songs journey from art-punk to noise-rock to piano-driven power-p op\, the band matches that musical complexity with a sharply honed narrati ve voice that manifests in countless forms (ultravivid poetry\, diary-like confession\, fearlessly detailed storytelling\, etc.). Not only the outco me of their constant growth as songwriters\, Chaos County Line’s scope a nd depth has much to do with Skating Polly’s newly heightened clarity of vision. “All these songs are the most special to me of anything I’ve ever written\, and I think Kelli feels the same\,” says Peyton. “In th e past I didn’t always write with a clear purpose\, but this time I knew exactly what I wanted to say. We both ended up writing about the most dif ficult emotional experiences we’ve ever been through\, and instead of be ing terrified of saying exactly what I was feeling it just all came out so naturally.”Whether they’re opening up about matters internal (identit y\, disassociation\, unhealthy coping mechanisms) or external (obsession\, deception\, gaslighting)\, Skating Polly imbue that outpouring with an un fettered emotional truth. On songs like Chaos County Line’s frenetic lea d single “Hickey King\,” Kelli and Peyton trade off vocals as they sha re their distinct perspectives on closely related experiences—in this ca se\, the minefield of power dynamics in sex and relationships. “In Peyto n’s verse she’s talking about never knowing how far to go or how much of yourself to give to someone\, and when my part comes crashing in it’s about guys being possessive and always trying to leave their mark on you\ ,” Kelli says. “To me it’s the most Skating Polly song on the record \, because it’s all these different energies happening at once.” Meanw hile\, on “I’m Sorry For Always Apologizing\,” Skating Polly deliver a bouncy piece of bubblegum-punk in which Kelli calls herself out on cert ain messy behavior in her past. And on “Double Decker\,” Peyton examin es her own possibly self-sabotaging patterns\, magnifying the song’s moo d of confusion with a dizzying guitar solo and breakneck vocal performance . Elsewhere on Chaos County Line\, Skating Polly offer up moments of unaba shed fun—“Rabbit Food\,” for instance\, serves up a pure rush of pun k delirium spotlighting Kelli’s gift for infusing so much psychodrama in to her vocal work.Over the course of its 18 kaleidoscopic tracks\, Chaos C ounty Line embraces the kind of combustible emotionality that comes from f ully uncompromised self-expression. “I think on this record Kelli and Pe yton were really confident in being more honest and more experimental at t he same time\, whereas in the past they might’ve made the lyrics more po etic in order to cloak that honesty a bit\,” says Kurtis. And as their s ongs shift from devastating to exhilarating to gloriously cathartic\, Skat ing Polly hope to provide the same sense of solace they found in creating the album. “I’ve had people tell me we’ve helped them get through a breakup or an abusive relationship or the death of someone they loved\, an d all these other heavy obstacles everyone goes through\,” says Kelli. “I feel like I’m not necessarily the best person to draw a map on how to live the happiest life\, but I like the idea that our songs can make ot her people’s lives better in some way. I want our music to be like armor .”LORD FRIDAY THE 13TH STANDARD BIO:Lord Friday the 13th is a dollar sto re trash-glam-punk band from Austin\, TX now basedin Los Angeles.
