It’s the timely return of SNAPPED ANKLES
They’ve given up trying to make sense of it all. The forest only offers so much protection. Feeding on a diet of fractured narratives, meme culture, viral moments and the very worst of human impulses weighs heavy. The woodwose hold up a mirror to the absurdity of modern life once again. The only sane response is to dance.
The new single is out now from the forthcoming LP 'Hard Times Furious Dancing' watch 'Raoul' here or listen 24/7 on www.8k.nz
