Snocaps sound exactly like the sum of their parts. A new band for fans of headstrong, tender Americana, Alabama twins Katie and Allison Crutchfield (of Waxahatchee and Swearin\u2019 respectively) are in a new band together for the first time since scrappy, beloved PS Eliot retired in 2011. Backed by indie guitar star MJ Lenderman<\/a> and storied alt-rock producer Brad Cook, Snocaps is a family record in more ways than one: the four have a tangled history of making music together, giving this one-off collection the lived-in feel of a band five albums deep.<\/p>\n

With no need for introductions, Snocaps starts with an exercise in trust. We\u2019re in the car, Allison\u2019s at the wheel, and she is daring the rest of the band to close their eyes: \u201cI got a pedal on the floor or I\u2019m slammin\u2019 on the brakes,\u201d she quips, setting the pace for an album about chasing integrity and conviction, told through airborne melodies and unpretentious, freewheeling guitar.<\/p>\n

The sisters play outlaws on Over Our Heads (\u201cDon\u2019t bother chasing us, boys!\u201d), echoing their teenage rejection of male-dominated music scenes, while I Don\u2019t Want To\u2019s whispered assertions slowly grow in strength, with glowing acoustic guitar guarding their twinned harmonies like a blanket fort. Combining poetry and pragmatism for songs about flawed self-sufficiency, Wasteland and Cherry Hard Candy are instant Crutchfield classics \u2013 now with dusty, aching Lenderman solos. They have promised just a handful of live shows before screeching to a halt, but here\u2019s hoping that a band with such obvious, exhilarating chemistry can\u2019t resist driving a few more miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snocaps sound exactly like the sum of their parts.
