The Fish Needs A Bike by Snapped Ankles
Formats: Digital (SNAP 16E)
Release Date: 28 September 2022
No strangers to the fine art of taking a song and making it their own, Snapped Ankles follow up their 2018 Violations EP with their take on Blurt's cult classic 'The Fish Needs A Bike'. This is the sound of the woodwose letting loose on their post-punk standards songbook, after the ‘serious business’ of last year’s 'Forest Of Your Problems' album.
“We focused our logs on a band that we’ve always admired for their dedication to the simplicity of groove, whilst maintaining a fierce outsider stance,” the woodwose explain. “Blurting out primal rhythms and absurd poetry for over forty years, Ted Milton’s Blurt has been consistently singular in their output.”
Snapped Ankles enlisted acclaimed electronic producer Luke Abbott to mix the track, giving sharper lines to those irresistible forest rhythms.
