about

Limited Edition CD Available Here:
store.cdbaby.com/cd/snownerds

Something fishy. Snow Nerds come together in rejection of the self-seriousness, inaccessibility, and desire-to-impress that so often plague the world of academic music. From the short chuckling burst of “Skylanders” to the steady meditation of “Felix Found A Tire,” guitarist and leader Jake Sucher’s compositions display thoughtful intent and mindfulness towards the bigger picture. Gup Life is fun, complex, and ultimately political residing in Los Angeles where certain like-minded scenes are beginning to flourish. Amidst playful jazz compatriots such as sister-band Logan Hone’s Similar Fashion, label-mate Alexander Noice’s Sextet, friends in Alex Wand's Desert Magic, as well as the “actual joy and positive change” of DIY-pop label Nicey Music, Gup Life dons the possibility of a new positive energy in motion.

-Ben Levinson

New York United, Volume 2

An intruiguing mix of Jazz and Ambiant, of organic instruments and electronic sounds. It wanders a little, let's itself be influenced. It's not an easy listen, but it is very interesting. Thibaut Devigne

This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters! pjnewman-364
