Emerging from London’s fiercely independent warehouse venue scene and shunning the constraints of traditional live performance, Snapped Ankles delivered an arresting blast of post-punk brilliance with 2017’s Come Play TheTrees. With a restless DIY energy seeing them deploy a synth made from bits of tree at shows bearing as much in common with art installations as traditional gigs, the band distil the dynamic krautrock energy of The Fall and Can.
That fizzing creativity is audible through the insistent electronic throb of new single Drink And Glide, the first from an as-yet-untitled album due next year. Recorded with producer Danalogue The Conqueror from fellow Londoners The Comet Is Coming, it features “the motley cast of Snapped Ankles, drummers, gurus, chemists and witch doctors”.
