Tiny Little Houses – Snow Globe

Angry and sad, this EP is purely these things and nothing else. Snow Globe is so full of inward rage that the instruments bristle with it.

A short release, with narratives of understanding and provocation all wrapped up in three to four minute parcels. That is enough.

Harsh and selfish but necessary, the brooding conveyed in this EP is a blessing when it is brief, but it is too tempting to drown in it since there is no upward direction. This music sucks the listener in with such force that a sudden break is needed to let go.

Like “living in a snow globe”, the listener can see beyond himself, see outside of the music, but they can’t push through the sound barrier, it speaks to such a forceful part of its human listeners, freshening old pain.

Dark but short, listen with caution. (SP)
