Released: 30.06.23
An fascinating mix of post-punk-inspired art rock sounds (believe Futureheads and Orange Juice) blended with layered brand-new jazz patterns, the launching release from Do Nothing is anything however apparent.
Excelling when actively cutting up piano and drumming structures and blending them with abstract lyrics (especially on Hollywood Lmake and Moving Target), the success of Snake Sideways is its capability to position frontman Chris Bailey’s emotional singing variety (in locations sounding strangely like Kevin Rowland) front and centre of tunes loaded with moving soundscapes developed on arpeggio guitars and jazz drumming strategies.
Whilst a number of tunes miss out on the high-points of the album (Happy Feet is especially distinct), the determination to experiment and take threats makes this a record that is almost difficult to anticipate however ear-catching adequate to come back to.
