Toronto post rock instrumentalists Fresh Snow are set to release their second full length album, to follow up 2013’s, I. Simply titled, WON, it’s a wild five song ride taking the listener through a myriad of approaches and styles within and between tracks. Take for example, ’King Twin Rides Again’, the album’s all instrumental opener which begins in a cold, robotic like place but ends up in almost euphoric celebratory form. The album is not completely vocalless, featuring a delicate contribution from the uber talented Carmen Elle (DIANA) on the almost celestially funky ‘Proper Burial’ and a typically trenchant performance from Damian Abraham (Fucked Up) on the 10 minute work of hypnotic dissonance, ‘Don’t Fuck A Gift Horse In The Mouth’. Proper Burial can be streamed and its video viewed below while you can pre-order the album through Hand Drawn Dracula here.
