The track is from the band’s upcoming debut EP Out of the Blue
On their expansive and engrossing sophomore single ‘Snow’, WRKHOUSE showcase the soaring capabilities of their distinctive indie rock sound, boasting a tonne of complexity and charismatic charm en route to one of the most satisfying and rewarding climaxes of a track that you’re likely to hear all year.
The track has an adventurous and forward-thinking tone to it throughout, littered with cute little sonic quirks and intricate moments as a narrative surrounding the complexities of things like personal and rational development unfolds. This, when spliced with a heavy breakup that singer Lewys went through in 2020, makes for an deeply engrossing and resonating track that feels crushingly cathartic and stirring.
Of the single, lead singer Lewys says “Towards the end of that year (2020), I ended up revisiting it after a pretty nasty breakup – we were constantly back and forth, never sure on where we both stood, and deep down, knew things weren’t working. Lyrics I had written over a year ago at this point suddenly made so much more sense. I wanted to create a sense of restraint and control throughout the song, and I suppose that’s why there’s no traditional ‘chorus’ or hook. Each build up is quickly snatched away in favour of a quiet, intimate bridge section, before the climax at the very end acts as a huge outpouring of pent up energy and emotion.”
