Describing their music as ‘scuzz rock’, The Snowdroppers have revamped their style for this latest installation.
They’ve taken a back to the roots approach, distancing themselves from their American influences and re-embracing their native tongue.
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Johnny Wishbone has all the hallmarks of John Waters’ Cry Baby and Disney’s Jack Sparrow rolled into one, except for his accent which is as true blue as it gets.
First release “White Dress” is a corker; when the hi-hats really kick in at the chorus- it is indeed time to teach somebody “how to get down,“as the lyrics suggest.
The title track espouses a slow, bluesy, raunchy groove, supported by throaty backing vocals.
Moving Out Of Eden isn’t shrouded in mystery; there’s no agenda and as “Just A Man” suggests, these guys are men entrails and all.
Lyrically the band checks the box for poetic likability. “Plaster On A Smile” laments the monotony that is sometimes a part of life, honesty that traverses demographics.
The Snowdroppers have a devil may care, son of a preacher man courage and fortunately, a little corruption of the soul equals high entertainment value.
