Skinny Dippers

Skinny Dippers is a Brooklyn, NY-based indie music project led by singer/songwriter Ryan Gross. Formed in 2020, the group draws inspiration from Gross's upbringing on the coast of Maine, blending guitar-driven indie rock with analog synthesizers and choral harmonies. Their music often features airy vocals and a mix of 60s and 90s influences, creating a narrative-driven sound that is both melodically rich and nostalgic. In 2021, Gross collaborated with Jordan Dunn-Pilz and Dan Alvarez of the band TOLEDO on his debut album, "The Town & The City," which explores themes of growing up and transitioning into adulthood in New York City.

Skinny Dippers' sound is characterized by its blend of indie-rock, folk, and dream pop elements, making it a compelling listen for fans of storytelling through music. With a focus on harmonies and analog sounds, their music is both catchy and emotionally resonant. The project has gained attention from music blogs and curators, and they continue to release new music, including singles like "Night to Day" and remixes of their tracks.
