Snails are a 5-piece experimental pop band from Bristol, stealing gleefully from mavericks such as the Kinks, Lou Reed and Syd Barrett while combining it with a deft lyricism and craftsmanship all their own.
Songwriter Dan Weltman studied film music composition at Bristol University, and draws on folk, classical and pop influences in his writing. He is joined by Anna Kissell (vocals), Holly McIntosh (bass, vocals) Steve Dixon (drums) and Matthew Chaney (keys).
A debut LP ‘Safe in Silence’ was released in early 2017, followed by the ‘Starting with Mine’ EP in summer, both issued on the Feral Child label.
The band’s releases have received airplay on several BBC 6 Music shows and favourable press coverage.
"Simply the most effortlessly charming set of songs I've heard in a long time." Pete Paphides
