Sneaks "Gymnastics" RE LP (2016)

Details: Sneaks reissue, "Gymnastics," LP (2016, Merge Records), black vinyl. New stock, sealed.

Description: "Sneaks songs are the mesmerizing post-punk incantations of Washington, DC’s Eva Moolchan. Bass and drum machine underpin Moolchan’s compelling vocals, and the music straddles several decades of serious minimalist fun to create her own unique niche of rock. “The songs came together pretty fast, very tongue-in-cheek,” writes Moolchan of Gymnastics. “I was playing with how we use language and twisting the words of mundane slogans, ads, and repetitive symbols I was seeing while attending school.”

Sneaks is currently recording her sophomore album to be released on Merge in early 2017. While her music and lyrics are rooted in punk, Sneaks’ live shows often provide the joy and release of a dance party. See the band on tour this fall, with more dates to be announced soon."
