Snow What - So Far So Good - LP (2014)

Labels: Party Nogg – rok lok
Review by: Andy Malcolm

OK, so this is the best indie rock record of 2014. Why is that? As it’s a bit of a shambles. Snow What fall apart in front of your very own eyes and ears. They’re making a noise, playing some riffs, yelling a bit. Never really clear where they are going. But hold on a moment. It’s fucking perfect! Just wait til you hit “œMetal Warrior” which right now feels like it’s the best song I’ve ever heard. It isn’t really, but for those three short minutes… Remember that first Beezewax LP, when they were still finding their feet and figuring out that a fuzzy melody was the greatest thing? That’s what you’ve got on that one. I could listen to “œMetal Warrior” non stop for a thousand jahre. What a fucking song. The rest of the album is almost as good. There’s a few missteps but overall this is a record full of song after song of the kind of indie rock I want to be listening to. Love that there are still bands out there that somehow deliver the precise combination I require.

Gimme indie rock.
