Sasami's 'Skin a Rat' Is a Snarling, Self-Aware Hard-Rock Sucker Punch

“Skin a Rat” opens with a nod to the classic horror trope of a sweet, innocent child singing an eerie tune, in this case, “There are many ways to skin a rat.” It’s got that haunted jingle vibe, but it doesn’t leaden the song with a sense of self-seriousness. The ensuing instrumental pummel is too perfectly crafted, but more than that, it’s a cheeky, hyper-cheery breakdown — plopped halfway through — that confirms Sasami isn’t merely out here trying to flex hard-rock menace.

For a song just over two-and-a-half minutes, “Skin a Rat” lands a whole bunch of different blows, each harder and more unexpected than the last. And, like all good rock & roll bruisings, the moment it’s over, you’re ready to spin it back for more.
