Song(s) of the Day # 4231 Snocaps

 

I almost get the sense sometimes that artists curate their own records these days. Frame their albums in the terms the want them to be perceived in a classic sense among the records they loved and they first clasped to their chests as they were coming of age , with half an eye on eternity

Snocaps eponymous record is one such album  . The Crutchfield sisters regroup and they're shooting at will from the hip and the get go, jangling instant bullseyse to garland. Songs to learn and sing. Slot them in your collection in between you Big Star, Emmylou Harris, Pavement, Byrds and Lemonheads records, Have a jingle jamgle morning. Or afternoon if you prefer.

It's a delight to wake up to and listen through to this  before my bath and a drawn out breakfast. 'As if the Paisley Underground were founded in the Deep South.' .This feels the new coming of age, We are all, always coming of age. In the act of becoming. 

This record is raining pleasure. Lines jump out you and make you reach for a pen. Because they strike you as worthy of Harper Lee. Carson McCullers. The melodies match. A wonderful record to greet Mid November and make it feel like the coming of Spring..
