There’s a new album on the way from British mavericks Red Snapper. Entitled Everybody Is Somebody, the record was recorded over the past 3 years and arrives on May 6th through Lo Recordings. The 15-track album is described as “a glorious and heady take on the band’s pioneering alternative, trip hip and nu-jazz infused sound” and finds the outfit of Rich Thair (drums), Ali Friend (double bass) and David Ayers (guitar) and long term collaborator Tom Challenger (sax) “carry[ing] their signature and always-captivating sound into a new realm.”

Red Snapper have shared four singles from Everybody Is Somebody ahead of its release. Here’s ‘Tarzan’ and ‘Truth 1’ for an electrifying taster of what they’ll be throwing at us.

To celebrate the album release, Red Snapper are heading on a 12-date tour across the UK this spring, kicking off on May 4th at Bristol’s The Jam Jar. Check all their stops here.

Last year Red Snapper released the outstanding Hyena, which was one of our Album Picks of 2014. So we’re excited to know they are following it up with a new EP called Wonky Bikes. A mind-blowing live version of the main track, originally lifted from Hyena, is offered in the EP. As the press release describes, the band injected the live cut “with a seething dose of voodoo funk that perfectly encapsulates the raw, live Red Snapper sound.”.
The EP also features a remix by the band’s drummer Rich Thair of his favourite album track, ‘Traffic’ and a remix by Saint Petersburg based DJ and producer Kito Jempere of ‘Blue Chest’. Grab the EP when it drops on April 27th via Lo Recordings and now get dancing with the live version of ‘Wonky Bikes’.

Lo and behold! For a new album from British ground-breaking and outstanding band Red Snapper has been announced. Hyena was inspired by the score they composed for the 1973 classic Senegalese film Touki Bouki, directed by Djibril Diop Mambety and restored recently by Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Foundation.
Ahead of Hyena‘s release on September 1st via Lo Recordings, Red Snapper got us salivating with the first funky and infectious single, ‘Card Trick’. The single, which has its own The Card Trick EP, came out last Monday and it also features remixes by Auntie Flo, Tici Taci and Rich Thair.
Now play ‘Card Trick’ again and again.
