Notes

Skylla is the debut solo recording of Italian-born and London-based composer, bassist, and vocalist Ruth Goller. This album of otherworldly detuned bass harmonics and dense vocal arrangements was initially released in 2021 by longtime collaborator Bex Burch’s Vula Viel Records, and quickly went out of print. Since then Goller’s notoriety has only grown, and her follow-up record, SKYLLUMINA, was released by International Anthem in early 2024 and met with high praise.

Skylla is the genesis of her sound, and it’s a sound that is hard to place. Listener’s could be convinced that these recordings came out of contexts as disparate as 80s Downtown NYC or some mysterious Bjork-adjacent project of the Icelandic 2010s. It’s hard to imagine a person making this music despite the fact that its elements are instantly recognizable.

Shipping & Returns

Orders ship from our Chicago warehouse. In North America, records and other media go out via USPS Media Mail with tracking. International orders also ship from Chicago via USPS; any customs duties or import fees are paid on delivery unless collected at checkout. Outside North America, our international store ships many titles from warehouses in Europe and the UK, so VAT is included and there are usually no import fees on delivery, and it's often faster and cheaper.

Anything ordered together with a pre-order ships when the pre-order arrives, so place a separate order if you'd like in-stock items sooner. Print-on-demand merch is made to order and ships separately.

If something arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, email orders@intlanthem.com with your order number and a photo and we'll make it right.
