Shameless Tuesdays: Livre 131 | Snailmate
They may be called Snailmate, but don't you dare call them slow! Sure, they have a song called "The Laziest Man in the World" on their new album Stress Sandwich, but the duo of Kalen Lander and Bentley Monet are anything but! Lander spits rhymes like MC Frontalot or Busdriver, whilst Monet brings pure punk and hip hop beats behind the drum kit. One sec, they're being playful on "Trash, Baby" and "Shoulda Brought Snacks"; the next moment, loud GWAR-y growls fill "Overwaiter" and "I Know What You Want". Snailmate make a strange dance party, but their groove is in their stomach, which is why we're craving for a slice of their Shameless Tuesdays platter!
Here's what Snailmate has to say about this week's playlist, entitled "Don't Forget The Snacks!":
You need to eat. You probably forgot to have breakfast. That's why you're so confused right now. Food is good for you. Good food is better for you. This collection of bangers is here to remind you to feed yourself. These songs are either directly about food, or they mention food in the lyrics. Or they have some loose, intangible connection to food that only exists in our minds. We're Snailmate, and we are constantly thinking about food. Now you are too. You're welcome.
