Label GB

Sneaks is an artist formed in mid-2014, hailing from Washington D.C. With a unique sound that blends elements of punk, post-punk, and art rock, Sneaks has carved out a distinct place in the music scene. Drawing inspiration from artists such as French Vanilla, Drahla, and Priests, Sneaks brings a fresh perspective to their music.

Known for their energetic live performances and thought-provoking lyrics, *Sneaks* has gained a dedicated following over the years. Their music resonates with listeners who appreciate raw authenticity and innovative sonic experimentation.

With influences ranging from Crack Cloud to ESG, *Sneaks* creates a sound that is both familiar yet entirely their own. Whether it's the catchy hooks or the infectious rhythms, their music leaves an indelible mark on anyone who listens.

Merge Records welcome Sneaks with the reissue of her debut album Gymnastics. A pleasingly blunt array of spoken word and chanted lyrics over bass guitar and drum machine, Gymnastics' unique charm lies in its delivery. Musically, shades of bare-bones forebears like Pylon or Young Marble Giants come to mind, but Moolchan's youthful vocals have their own compelling magnetism, even at their most repetitive. Sneaks is currently recording her sophomore album Hi Spirits with Mary Timony and Jonah Takagi, to be released on Merge in early 2017. While her music and lyrics are rooted in punk, Sneaks' live shows often provide the joy and release of a dance party.
