“Sadly, it's much easier to create a desert than a forest” – James Lovelock Snapped Ankles return to the forest, but it’s not as they left it. Trees planted in neat rows. A well-ordered monoculture with access roads and heavy machinery. The smell of greenwashed money in the air. There’s no sign of the ancient woodland they emerged from on debut album, Come Play The Trees. And it’s far cry from the gentrified East London they found themselves hawking on Stunning Luxury. All is not well in the face of progress. Welcome to the Forest Of Your Problems. You can read the full press release here. CD: LP: 1. A1. Forest Of Your Problems 2. A2. The Evidence 3. A3.

On Stunning Luxury: “Snapped Ankles are but a celebration of the necessity of the weird” the Quietus “It’s a danceable, destabilised stew of The Pop Group, Kraftwerk, Can and Liars” Uncut “These unconstructed mischief makers excel when locking electro horns with primal motorik grooves” Mojo “So good! Absolute heroes” Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music ”It’s often hard to put lightening in a bottle, but Snapped Ankles have done a pretty good job of it on Stunning Luxury” Brooklyn Vegan “Snapped Ankles, the best live band in the world right now, return with an album full to bursting point with energy, playfulness and a guaranteed contender for album of the year” 9/10 The 405 “Snapped Ankles hammer away with logs as instruments, creating a sonic middle ground between nature and technology” The Guardian
