Skullcrusher is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for her introspective and poetic indie folk music. Born Helen Ballentine, she adopted the moniker Skullcrusher as a playful nod to the stark contrast between her serene soundscapes and the aggressive name. Despite the subtlety of her work, Skullcrusher's introspective lyrics and soothing melodies have captured the attention of listeners and critics alike.

With a down-to-earth, low-fi approach to music production, Skullcrusher often finds solace in the quiet moments, weaving together minimal arrangements and poignant storytelling. Her work, like the songs "Quiet the Room" and "Cloudy Shoes", often grapples with themes of introspection and emotional depth, making for a listening experience that feels both personal and relatable.
