Offerings: 20 Questions with Snake River

Snake River formed in 2012, and has spent the years since releasing six full-length LPs, and an EP, as well as criss-crossing Canada a number of times. The band’s most recent album, Lost Album (2021) is an excursion into previously uncharted sonic territory for the group. Like previous albums, Lost Album is set in the fictional town of Snake River Mountain, and features characters that listeners of the band will recognize. The album features contributions by members of Radiation Flowers, and Shooting Guns. The guitars are twangy, grinding and jangling, and the album gets darker and heavier than previous works but also is full of lightness and hope. The band’s previous album, Tread On To The Unknown You (2018) reached #13 on the national Earshot! charts, and has had songs licensed by APTN and Sportsnet. Snake River toured and played many festivals (including Sled Island) in support of the album, in the “before times.”
