Mentalized (Milky Clear Transparent Vinyl)

What does it mean to mentalize others? How might the world around us stick us to our seats? In the modern world, is it truly possible to mentalize yourself into being? These are questions more easily asked than answered. In the case of Russell Fitzgibbon, otherwise known as Skeleten, they lay the foundation for his new album, Mentalized.

For anyone connected to Sydney’s music scene, Russell is a familiar face; from going to shows and clubs, seeing friends DJ and play in bands. It was a few years ago that he began experimenting with music outside his existing projects. He was searching for a new feeling. Or perhaps a new way to capture a feeling.

The album is driven by poignant images, turned into mantras orchestrated to dance to. It’s the way in which Skeleten knows how to share himself with others, and Mentalized is his offering. Not that he has the answers, but that he’s asking the same questions as you. In resisting being mentalized, he shows how important it is to submit yourself
