Snowden

Atlanta's Snowden drowns their brand of melodies in a sea of reverb heavy distortion and hypnotic layers. Anti-Anti (JT1115), the band's debut album for Jade Tree, integrates the ethereal guitar resonance and dynamic percussion reminiscent of bands like Ride, New Order and early Cure, with the volatility of contemporaries such as The Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Alec's Band. Combining a mix of tracks recorded by Erik Wofford (Octopus Project, The Black Angels) at Cacophony Recorders in Austin with tracks recorded and mixed by principal songwriter Jordan Jeffares, Anti-Anti finds Jeffares and company elevating their trademark sound into an unpredictable mix of dirty pop soundscapes. If post-shoegaze exists as a genre, then Snowden is proving their contention for the upper ranks.
