Snapped Ankles hack away at the foliage to create their most spellbinding potion of woodwose krautrock to date.
Who
The London post-punk four-piece, famed for their heavily costumed appearances and artistic live performances, are presented here as The Business Imp, The Nemophile, The Cornucopian and The Protester who 'all want to save you, take you to the moon, smother you in wellness or just sell you a tree to hug.'
What
Snapped Ankles haven’t lost an iota of their innate ability to make you want to move your feet. Emerging from the dark depths of their wooded domain, having stirred up the spirits of the forest, they have created a bewitching and hypnotic incantation with swirling melodies, primal rhythm and feral funk that harks back to the feeling of possessed mania of Can or Joy Division.
With
Warmduscher, KOKOKO!, Crack Cloud, Can.
