Columbus shoegaze, indie trio snarls is back with a new track “Baby Bangs” as well as a fabulous tour lineup. Following a breakout summer opening for Louis Tomlinson, the three are ready to take over the world with their forthcoming record.
Preceded by the track “Heavy Drinker,” “Baby Bangs” begins with tender, self-aware lyrics, and shimmering shoegaze sonics before entering into blustering guitar riffs that demand your full attention.
“It’s hard to understand why I care about what I look like more than who I am,” vocalist and songwriter Chlo White sings. “That was a lyric I didn’t feel like I had to overthink, it was just true. Simultaneously, putting the pieces together as a band felt natural. When I brought the song to Mick’s basement, it wasn’t long before everyone was on the same page,” White notes.
Produced by former Death Cab For Cutie guitarist and songwriter Chris Walla, the band is ready to share the 10-track With Love on May 3 via Take This To Heart Records.
Of the new record, snarls explains, “We wrote this record during a time of serious introspection for the whole group, and it covers all kinds of topics from love to loss, confidence to self-loathing, all the various ups and downs we’ve gone through in such a transformative period of time.”
