Hold My Hand Up

This EP comes out next week, a collaboration between Red Snapper and David Harrow. Red Snapper are riding the crest of a wave after last year's Live At The Moth Club and a tour. They're touring again next year. David Harrow is celebrating his sixtieth year by releasing music every month from his Los Angeles home- modular synth ambiance, dub, techno and whatever else he fancies. The EP, Tight Chest, was made in a sweet spot somewhere between London, Wales and LA and is led by this wonderful piece of dub flavoured music, Hold My Hand Up...

David's modular synths form the base layer. On top Red Snapper add Ali Friend's double bass, some sweetly drifting melodica, percussion and a sleepy eyed vocal, everything smothered in some lovely dub bass and delay. 

The other three tracks follow with similarly expansive feel. Modsnap has North African grooves, Rich Thair's bubbling percussion and an addictive rhythm. Lucky Strike is led by finger picked acoustic guitar, a loop of bass and Rich's signature drums, David's synths adding textures. Final song and title track Tight Chest glides in on synth twinkles and FX with the Red Snapper rhythm section bringing the jazz- dub vibes and at the mid- point more whispered vocals. The Tight Chest EP can be pre- ordered at Bandcamp with Hold My Hand Up ready to download straight away.
