"A new band for fans of headstrong, tender Americana, Alabama twins Katie and Allison Crutchfield (of Waxahatchee and Swearin' 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 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."
"With no need for introductions, Snocaps starts with an exercise in trust. We're in the car, Allison's at the wheel, and she is daring the rest of the band to close their eyes: I got a pedal on the floor or I'm slammin' on the brakes, she quips, setting the pace for an album about chasing integrity and conviction, told through airborne melodies and unpretentious, freewheeling guitar."
"The sisters play outlaws on Over Our Heads (Don't bother chasing us, boys!), echoing their teenage rejection of male-dominated music scenes, while I Don't Want To's 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 now with dusty, aching Lenderman solos."
Snocaps pairs Alabama twins Katie and Allison Crutchfield with indie guitarist MJ Lenderman and producer Brad Cook to form a one-off, family-feeling band. The record captures their long history of making music together and sounds lived-in, like a band several albums into its career. Songs open with an exercise in trust and ride on airborne melodies, unpretentious guitar, and twinned harmonies. Lyrics chase integrity, conviction, and flawed self-sufficiency, balancing poetry and pragmatism. Tracks like Wasteland and Cherry Hard Candy showcase dusty, aching Lenderman solos beneath intimate vocal interplay. The sisters channel teenage rebellion and subtle strength across the collection.
