Snailbeach

Following on from last years singles "Fireflies in the Sun" and "Strangers", Snailbeach are back with their first single of 2022 with the winsome "Tonight I'll Go Quietly".

"The song continues the theme of nostalgia which runs a thread through the EP. I think the lyric "the days get longer but life gets shorter" encapsulates much of this sentiment; it's meant in a kinda playful, tongue in cheek way.  I wanted this one to feel like being in a dingy that's rocking on the water. The production is full of tape hiss, I think it sounds like somewhere between the Soggy Bottom Boys and something off of Cohen's 'Songs From A Room'. Easily one of the most fun to record."

Snailbeach is the alias of Theo Williams, a 23-year-old artist based in South London. His take on Indie-Folk has a whimsical quality contrasted by nostalgic lyrics which tackle human relationships and mortality. Influenced by the likes of Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed, Theo’s writing is sincere, creating a comforting, yet rugged sound world that muses on the past. Following a string of sold out London shows, Theo and his band have been working with producer Shuta Shinoda at Hackney Road Studios on a debut EP to be released via State51.
