The solo project of Australian musician George Pappas, Alien Skin creates dark, atmospheric synth pop which is melodic yet spacious and exploratory. Previously active as a member of new wave hitmakers Real Life throughout the '90s and 2000s, Pappas set out on his own and released Alien Skin's debut, Don't Open 'til Doomsday, in 2008. The album reached an online audience of electro-pop and darkwave fans throughout the world, and Pappas continued releasing material on a frequent basis, including numerous albums and singles as well as collaborations with vocalist Deity and Steve Kilbey of alternative rock legends the Church. Alien Skin's 13th album, Put Your Lips on My Lips, was released in 2022.
