If you’ve had a stressful day/week so far, this brand new alt-pop, lo-fi track, ‘snow shack – weekend’ is just what you need to mellow out and find your nirvana!
snow shack is a trio of chill dudes, Nick, Colby, and Alex from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Their debut single ‘weekend’ is an infectiously groovy blend of folksy rhythms, ambient textures, soulful strings, and laid-back vocals. They hit that sweet spot of capturing the feeling of fatigue and despair from living through the rat race and surviving with an existential crisis, the only way we know how. By dreaming of the weekend!
Imagine a track that brings the vibes of The Gorillaz, Tame Impala, and MGMT together. That’s what this indie pop jam sounds like, immediately perking up the mood and inviting a relaxed, upbeat feeling.
‘weekend’ opens with an immersive sonic swell that craftily flows into the opening lines, “Im so tired of this wheeling & dealin…”. An instantly relatable hook, riding on plucky strings and crisp, soft beats as the track expands and smoothly grows on you. The lines of the opening verse hit deep, bringing up the state of disillusionment and discontent that many of us go through. When the chorus arrives, it’s engaging and uplifting, inviting a happy, carefree singalong.
What’s remarkable is just how effortless and uncomplicated this track feels. snow shack exhibits a coolness and composure that you wouldn’t expect from being newcomers to the scene. The cohesion between the trio’s instrumentation and vocals results in a super friendly, likeable listening experience.
The track takes an interesting refrain, showing vulnerability, building light anticipation, before flowing towards its conclusion through a pleasant chorus repeat loop that’s impossible not to groove along to.
We love what we hear from this group and can’t wait to see what’s in store for this talented trio. Do yourself a favor and give this a listen. It just might make your day (any day of the week!) that little bit nicer.
