This debut album from Atlanta-based band Snowden sports catchy, tight rhythms pulled by fuzzy, driving guitar and vocals that cull heavily from the best of the Brit rockers. Indeed, singer Jordan Jeffaries at times channels Thom Yorke's monotone wail while singing austere and intelligent lyrics. What sets them apart lies in the band's ability to sneak in some experimental electronics without using them as a defining shtick.
