Things may be looking up. At least more than a bit. Oh come on. No really because Snowpoet have a new album Wait for Me (Edition) out on 19 February 2021. It may be the lifejacket we all need. Snowpoet habitually manage to harness the trick of following an avant garde method yet land in an accessible almost suspiciously melodic space preloaded with a certain antisentimental vaccine that rarely comes as standard. Coloured above all by the extraordinarily poetic voice of Lauren Kinsella and the deft coating of the ensemble sound in an organic electronic wash that has a mystical magic to it Snowpoet sound like no other. 'Roots' is streaming ahead of release and listening to it as an indicator is more than enough to run away with all of the above thoughts in anticipation of hearing the full album next year. Lyrics are by Lauren Kinsella, all music by Snowpoet (collective personnel Kinsella, voice; Chris Hyson, piano, synths; Matthew Robinson, piano, synths; Josh Arcoleo, saxophone; Dave Hamblett, drums; plus guests Lloyd Haines, drums on 1 track; Alex Haines, guitar; Alice Zawadzki, violin).
