Track Of The Day: Snarls – ‘Walk In The Woods’

Snarls are the band I need this month. Probably even the band I need this year. With ‘Walk In The Woods’, the Ohio four-piece bring a slice of sunshine to a dreary January day.  Jangly indie with a shimmery, Best Coast vibe, it blends sugary-sweet harmonies with poppy guitar hooks.

That said, the song isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. It’s about longing and trying to move on from someone you can’t quite quit. When the band sing about feeling helpless and stuck, there’s a real melancholy. But it’s a sadness that kinda washes over you while you’re simultaneously shimmying in your seat. Think the Bangles or the Primitives, if you’re not sure what I mean.

 As you can probably guess, I’m a big fan of this. It’s accomplished, addictive, and stupid amounts of fun. In just a couple of months, the band release their first album, Burst. And I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.

Snarls’ debut album, Burst, is out 6th March on Take It To Heart Records.

Premiere: AyOwA – ‘First Frost’

Following infectious offerings such as ‘Alt Det Du Ku’ and 2018’s EP Farvel, and support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, our favourite Danish duo are back with an evocative new single, ahead of their upcoming debut album.

Told from the perspective of a couple who have spent their whole life together and are now setting out into the winter to disappear as one, ‘First Frost’ flows with AyOwA’s distinctive swirling synths and the beguiling haunting power of Hannah Schneider’s vocals. A shimmering, cinematic soundscape, it’s an utterly captivating reflection on lasting love and the strength of togetherness.

Listen to ‘First Frost’ for the first time here:

 

‘First Frost’ is out tomorrow, 31st January, and Amoeba, the upcoming debut album from AyOwA, is set for release in September this year.

Track Of The Day: Lido Pimienta – ‘No Pude’

Inspired by the personal conflict she feels towards her Colombian homeland; Lido Pimienta‘s single ‘No Pude’ is a magnetic exploration of what it means to give up trying. It’s the first track the Toronto-based, Colombian-born interdisciplinary artist has shared since her award winning self-released album, La Papessa, in 2016.

Pimienta has performed, exhibited, and curated around the world since 2002, exploring the politics of gender, race, motherhood, identity, and the construct of the Canadian landscape in the Latin American diaspora and vernacular. On ‘No Pude’, which roughly translates as “I could not”, her heartfelt vocals lilt over eccentric percussion and avant-garde synth textures. The track is accompanied by a beautiful video directed by Fitto Segura, with art direction from Orly Anan.

Pimienta comments further on the meaning behind the track: “In the context of the song, [‘No Pude’] means something to the effect of “I am tired of trying”. The words speak directly to the sense of dread and constant anxiety my home country gives me. ‘No Pude’ sums up the love/hate relationship I have with Colombia. I hold Colombia close to my heart and my soul, but that loves turns into rage and shame as fast as a match takes to burn.” Pimienta has a clear ability to turn complex emotions into smoldering soundscapes.

Watch the video for ‘No Pude’ below, and follow Lido Pimienta on Facebook & Spotify for more updates.
