Albums of the Year - 2019

Snapped Ankles is an East London-based band formed in 2011 by Austin, Zampirolo & Sol Haim. Known for their unique live shows, the band combines live improvisations with chopped-up 1960s films and synthesizers. They released their first single, "True Ecology (Shit Everywhere)", in 2012 and followed up with "I Want My Minutes Back" in 2015. Their debut album, Come Play the Trees, was released in September 2017. With Ursula Russell on drums and JD Parry on bass, they toured extensively for their second album Stunning Luxury in 2019.

In July 2021, Snapped Ankles released their third album titled "Forest Of Your Problems", which was written during the Covid-19 pandemic. The album features Austin on vocals, log synths, guitars, and organs; Chestnutt on synths and logs; Stuart Handy on drums; and JD Parry on synth bass. The band continued to showcase their creativity with the release of Blurtations EP in April 2023.

With a growing discography that includes singles, EPs, and albums spanning various genres like punk rock and experimental music, Snapped Ankles continues to captivate audiences with their innovative soundscapes.

Snapped Ankles have taken on the guise of the very agents of their community’s demise – the property developers and brokers who heat the market on the promise of Stunning Luxury. With their adopted warehouse habitat under constant threat, the woodwose have taken this sharp-suited incarnation in order to infiltrate. The resistance starts here. From humble forest beginnings via bohemian East London on debut album Come Play The Trees, Snapped Ankles are moving on. The log synths have been transformed into gaudy To Let and For Sale signs, which have become the new instrument of choice for the discerning woodwose. The sounds they eke out of the housing bubble are as frenzied and unstable as you’d expect. Dystopian bangers. Illicit thrills. Stunning Luxury moves quickly through life in the capital: microdosing mindfulness in the morning, a poisoned nod to the marketing department, investment portfolios and death by same day delivery. The primal rhythms and forest chants are all present and correct. On the surface it’s hedonistic business as usual – a communal dance for the ages. But there’s a sense of discomfort too. There’s subversion, but it’s not clear who’s subverting who. There’s a message, but it’s often fragmented. Keep dancing. Keep foraging. Perhaps the woodwose are human after all...
