EMCD at work - Snowden

Posted almost 5 years ago
*Anti-Anti*I had not heard of Snowden until Jox and I ran the MOG Best of 2006 list, when someone recommended their album Anti-Anti. I had still not heard them, though, when I went to see them open for Forward Russia ("review here":http://mog.com/Dale/blog_post/31830), but I'm sure glad I did go see them; they've become one of my favorite bands.Their sound is built upon a rock-solid rhythm section, led by bassist (and my current artist crush) Corinne Lee. The guitars fill in with noisy rhythmic fills and delicate leads. Singer Jordan Jeffares' vocals have a wonderful droning quality, and just a hint of Southern twang to them, as befits their Atlanta heritage.*Like Bullets*Dig in, everyone!

    snakama says I've heard the name Snowden for a while now, but only till about 1 month ago did I hear any of their songs. I'm so glad I did, I really dig what I've heard thus far. -S

    Dale says Yeah, I've crowed about these guys a few times already, but I thought they could use some "face time" in the new MOG. Glad everyone's digging them!

    darmuzz says Oi! Had overlooked Snowden, maybe had them mixed up with Snow Patrol, LOL. Very coldwave-sounding...also I bet Interpol fans would like them. This is the best concept video I've seen in ages...clever, and disturbing.

    Peggah says I've had "I can't cut a rug, without my fashion drug" as my text msg alert for about 2 months now, haha. I loooooove that part of the song so much, and it's quite the opposite of how I live my life, haha.

    Dale says Yeah, they kinda like their substances, if the lyrics are any indication. The next line is "Inebriation is revelation."

    Peggah says Yeah... my friends were pretty shocked when I said that I loved this song, haha. It's so fucking catchy. Who needs drugs when you have catchy beats?

    Neill says You know you got me hooked on them. Had to but the CD from the States and I've mailed'em about 15 times telling them to get over to the UK. Thanks! You've got me acting like a 13 year old.....
