Coming To Your Local Bandstand: Snowden [MP3]

SnowdenAfter months of anticipation, Jade Tree will release Aug. 22 two-year-old quartet Snowden's debut full-length Anti Anti. To pimp the release the Atlanta-based act will hit the road for about six weeks beginning this weekend and we've posted the dates below. The label has been offering the title track for download for several months. What can we say: sometimes we're just behind the curve on things for a good long while. Anyway, we're glad we finally got hip to the tune over the weekend, because "Anti Anti" is a head-nodding, hand-clapping bit of downer pop with many strengths, one of which is vocalist Jordan Jeffares' reliable but somewhat sleepy cadence. The shimmering guitars also don't hurt the song's cause. You can download the track at the link below, download an EP at the band's site here and stream some more cuts at their MySpace dojo here.
