Snowden Remixed

I can't remember where I first read a blurb about Atlanta, GA's Snowden, but I definitely remember putting off grabbing their album from eMusic since I was going on a family vacation for almost two weeks last December. Thankfully, I didn't put off checking them out completely and ever since experiencing Anti-Anti (released on Jade Tree Records) earlier this year, I've been in love with the album and the band's sound, some of the cleanest, danciest, and most sincerest post-punk I've heard in a while.

Then, while reading through Big Stereo, turns out Snowden released a remix EP (Fuel of the Celebration - The Remixes ) as a free download online, which is also for sale if you catch them on tour! Remixes come courtesy of Le Castle Vania, two other ATL artists, and Snowden's singer himself (under the moniker Stutter). If you want to get your remix on, download the EP or buy it from the band, but if you want to get to know Snowden first, go get the album! It was one of the first albums I heard this year that impressed me on the first go, and that doesn't happen that much. Whoever was on their Myspace page when I tried to add them was really nice too (for once!).

Just as a quick note, Snowden will be performing at Cinespace on March 6th in L.A., with a DJ set at Check Yo Ponytail afterwards, a few blocks down from Cinespace. You can most likely expect me to drive down that night to make it (why am I still at college...)! And Dandi Wind is also performing at Cinespace, who I'm just familiarizing with/reading up on right now, so I'll get back to you guys with her possibly...

I was torn with which remix to post, but since I didn't settle with Treasure Fingers' of "Anti-Anti," that should be the next remix you listen to (complete with vocoder action for you Chromeo fans)!
