“I’m now just going all in, balls deep with an idea. I find that I can say the thing I am scared to say a bit more.”
“This EP will always have a special place in our hearts."
An ironically bombastic end to a career of a band that, like them or not, never faked a note and chose to float away rather than self-destruct.
The Melbourne quintet confirmed the news overnight
"The remixes on this EP actually craft more interesting songs out of Snakadaktal’s inoffensive, pretty tunes, taking their dreamy pop sensibilities to new levels and really enhance their warmly-timbred vocals."
Most bands would kill to have one singer as good as either one of them; Snakadaktal have two and their voices really need to be highlighted.
They're starting the new year off with a bang
Unfortunately the venue choice was not ideal for their more ambient numbers, and despite the fact that their performance was impressive, this counts for little when the band is hardly heard over the raucous crowd.
Snakadaktal aren’t bad performers as such, they just haven’t yet developed a way of translating the seductiveness of their recordings into a live format.
