‘Rivers in
my mind’
“Released via Glass Modern records - ‘Rivers In My Mind’ is the arresting debut solo album from Snails songwriter Dan Weltman, branching away from his band's quicksilver psych-pop into darker emotional terrain while retaining the same gift for a melody that seeds and blooms in the listener's memory.
Ranging widely through folk, country and blues influences, many of these songs feel like well-worn classics in those idioms, until a surprise lyrical turn or sidestepping chord change snaps the attention back to a truly unique and contemporary voice.”
Placed in Cerys Matthews Top 10 end-of-year list for her BBC 6Music show. A follow-up is due late 2024.

"An album which balances between hope and despair and which does so with some flair. There’s a wonderful sense of languor infused in these songs, hints of Leonard Cohen and
Nick Drake hide within the nooks and crannies."

Snails.
Bristol's Snails returned in exuberant form on their third full-length album, ‘Just Look Around’.
Over 10 songs that unfold with an origami-like precision, the west country 6-piece expand their lush, outsider-pop template into new sonic and emotional territory, alchemising existential doubt into condensed elegies of often breathtaking beauty.
”A dream of pop perfection that grows with repeated listens”

Released via Glass Modern, this is the follow-up to their second LP ‘Hard-Wired’.

This Snails LP is simply one of the most effortlessly charming set of songs I’ve heard in a long time.”
