BIOGRAPHY
Snowmine embraces a sound rich with echo pedals, tribal beats and electro-acoustic soundscapes. Inspired by love found and lost, forest trips, and circuit bending, it seems their music can be an apt cure for problems strange but beautiful, uplifting but melancholy. The Brooklyn quintet formed in 2008 from a long bubbling friendship between bassist Jay Goodman, drummer Alex Beckmann, and lead singer/composer Grayson Sanders. Many parties, road trips, and treacherous leaky basements fraught with jam sessions later, they met guitarists Austin Mendenhall and Scott Seelig – two wayfarers from D.C. and Los Angeles. The band recorded its debut LP, Laminate Pet Animal, over two days in the Summer of 2010 at Headgear Recordings with Dave Trumfio (Wilco, My Morning Jacket). After a month of mixing, they scraped most of it, and spent the next three months re-tracking everything in a musky closet at Grayson’s apartment. They made use of their living space, tracking guitars in bathtubs, and re-amping synths, vibraphones, bells, and vocals in cavernous concrete hallways. Their resulting sound is one of gigantic open spaces you can see and feel.
