Snapped Ankles announce ‘Forest Of Your Problems’ (watch “Rhythm Is Our Business” video)
UK group Snapped Ankles have once again descended from the trees to gift the world with a new album, their third — Forest Of Your Problems, on July 2 via The Leaf Label. If you’re unfamiliar, legend has it Snapped Ankles are wildmen of the woods, living in the branches and looking like a pile of leaves that have come to life to play danceable komische post-punk with a mix of synthesizers, guitars and foraged instrumentation. They produced this one themselves with regular collaborator and The Comet Is Coming member Danalogue on mixing duties.
The first single from the album is “Rhythm is Our Business,” a storming, crazed banger set to a manic beat that owes just a little to The Fall and maybe a little to the B-52s. Watch the video and check out the album’s artwork and tracklist below. The band have also announced a fall UK/EU tour and those date are below too.
Snapped Ankles’ last album, Stunning Luxury, made our Best Albums of 2019 list.
