Hard-Wired

Bristol's Snails return in exuberant form on their second full-length album, 'Hard-wired'. Recommended to the label by Stephen Pastel and he knows a good 'un when he hears one. Over 10 songs that unfold with an origami-like precision and attention to detail, the west country 6-piece expand their lush, outsider-pop template into new sonic and emotional territory, alchemising existential doubt into condensed elegies of often breathtaking beauty.
