Newcastle’s Snakes With Tits are back with new EP Tangents. If you love your music ethereally fuzzy, drenched in reverb and with stoner guitar grooves, this one’s for you.
Opener ‘Slö’ is built around shimmery 80’s style phasey synth and psych guitar riffs.
The instrumental stoner rock of ‘Ophidiphobia’ (the fear of snakes) chugs along at a steady pace leaving space for some epic guitar.
SWT’s debut single ‘Tyranny’, a “perturbation over spoiled preserves”, shows off SWT’s punkier side. Shellie Critchlow’s vocals are pushed to their limit by the tongue twisting yet very singable chorus of “Who Put the Mold in the Marmalade my mama made!”
‘Garage Pasty’ is an odd name for such a lovely sounding song. More psych guitar.
‘The Dark’ starts with Twin Peaks style guitars and echoey bass and turns into a space rock epic and it’s still a beautiful thing.
Forget being a Swifty, I’m a SWTy. Who’s with me?
Funded by a fan backed crowd funder Tangents was recorded and produced last summer by Chris McManus (Pit Pony).
SWTs play the following dates:
22nd Feb, Coastal Crawl, North Shields
1st March, Little Buildings Newcastle, Supporting Dead Air
5th April, Aelius Alt Festival, Newcastle
