Brooklyn band Snowmine is hand's down one of our favorite discoveries of the past few years. They infectious live show is something to behold, as is their 2011 debut LP, Laminate Pet Animal . The band has been hard at work over the past couple years and appear ready to unleash a collection of amazing new tunes into the world, two of which they recorded with us during our recent Buzzsession. Watch "Curfew" (which was already released as a single last year) and "Further Along Farther Away" below and download the recordings for free [...]

It's been a while since we last heard from Snowmine , who released an excellent Shaking Through session in " Curfews " back in 2011 (which made GTI's Top Songs of 2011 list). The Brooklyn-based quintet (comprised of Grayson Sanders, Austin Mendenhall, Alex Beckmann, Jay Goodman, and Calvin Pia) has just finished up its second album, which should be available later this year. First single "Silver Sieve" is a gorgeous tune that should tide fans over until the rest of the album arrives. Accompanying the song is an interesting animated video, courtesy of artist Martin Francis Shields. Shields [...]

Le genre de morceaux que j'écoute une quinzaine de fois d'affilée avant de me rappeler que j'ai un webzine et qu'il faudrait peut-être que je vous le propose. Les cordes à la fin du morceau le rendent encore plus épique qu'il ne l'est déjà, « Bittersweet Symphony »-style. Incroyable. Et ce clip réalisé par Martin Francis Shields à partir d'illustrations à l'aquarelle, je n'en parle même pas. A peine 3 300 vues, c'est une honte. → Bandcamp de Snowmine

It's been quite some time since anything was posted about Brooklyn based experimental/pop band Snowmine , but they returned with a new video for "Silver Sieve." The band recently wrapped up recording their second album, but wanted to get fans and new fans alike to hear/watch something new. The visual has an old school animation style to it and was created by Martin Francis Shields . It's not normally my sort of style, but the single is really good and the video is unique compared to a lot of what other bands are releasing. Watch below and stay [...]

![SNOWMINE SUCCEEDS WITH DREAMY ‘SILVER SIEVE’ [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4822762_lg.jpg)
Brooklyn-based Snowmine has given us a little taste of the great things we can expect from their upcoming album. “Silver Sieve” is a gorgeous dream pop tune, and its video is just as impressive. Artist Martin Francis Shields has created a work of art, consisting of entirely hand-painted illustrations, that perfectly suits the mood of the music behind it. Check out the video for “Silver Sieve” above, and look out for Snowmine as they perform at SXSW next week.
SNOWMINE - Silver Sieve In this day in age, it’s not often you come across such beautiful hand-painted animation as this piece by Martin Francis Shields . It’s got such the lovely nostalgic, timeless vibe. The band commissioned him to help them release this brand new single in style, which, true to form, is a finely crafted piece of pop fit for savoring. They didn’t tell me so explicitly, but I’d imagine the timing is ripe for a new record to be coming out this summer. [...]

After taking their "buzz band" status to new heights in 2012 (partly also because of the cover of The Deli's summer issue ), Snowmine goes to SXSW as a "band not to miss." To remind music fans about their gorgeously ascetic dream pop, Snowmine released today a new song and video for the single "Silver Sieve" (streaming), taken from their upcoming second album. Don't miss these guys' live show, it's top notch stuff - we booked them several times, and can't get enough of them!

Brooklyn five-piece outfit Snowmine has a rich indie pop sound full of pedals, tribal beats, electro-acoustic soundscapes and classical orchestrations, fronted by new-classical composer Grayson Sanders. The group has been compared to Fleet Foxes and My Morning Jacket. I've been told by a number of my music friends that these guys need to be seen live since they apparently put on an amazing show. They'll be performing at the Camel on Wednesday, March 6 with Lightfields (who are also incredible and deserved to be checked out too!).
The IT Dept. is going to SxSW. My picks for stuff to see is based solely on random selection, what I heard recently that caught my ear while perusing the intarwebs and names that I am happy to see on the list of showcasing artists. SxSW is like that; follow your folly. You will always miss something. You will always hear about some big thing that you can't go to. So ,take a chance with me and the ATH IT Dept. and dance a little, because I am going digitally affected for my list. [...]

Brooklynite five-piece Snowmine seem intent on carrying the indie pop mantle along with artists like The Field Mice, Daniel Rossen, and Port O’Brien, just to name a few. Led by classically trained composer Grayson Sanders, the band peddles their pop confections spiked with orchestral arrangements, tribal beats, and a mixture of organic and synthetic landscapes. Gearing up for another round of touring after releasing their debut record Laminate Pet Animal back in 2011, the band’s been keeping to an extensive set of tours which has left them constantly moving and crisscrossing the country for the last year and [...]

Snowmine bump the polar bears Ah, Christmas. Not only is it a cherished holiday for spreading love, being charitable, and drinking lots of alcoholic egg nog, but it's probably the most commercially driven holiday celebrated.
