Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Snuttock may very well be one of Charm City’s best kept secrets. With a musical palette rooted in the forceful textures of industrial and rock, rounded out with the lush melody of synthpop and lighter electro, the duo of Bryan Lee and Christopher Lee are in a class all their own. Founded in 2003 by Bryan, a classically trained musician, and later joined by Christopher, founding member of the metal band Thought Industry. Christopher, who also handles engineering and mastering duties for the band, gained his experience from Dave “Rave” Ogilvie and Ken “HiWatt” Marshall both of Skinny Puppy fame. The two joined forces and subsequently self-released Straight Jacket Life in 2005 and Carved & Sutured in 2008, making waves in the electronic underground. Now in 2013, Snuttock returns with a vengeance with the third album, Endless Rituals!

 

Distributed worldwide through Morphius Records in a special deluxe edition, Endless Rituals is Snuttock’s most accomplished and expansive work yet; the culmination of over two years of writing and recording. As the title stems from the unending routines experienced by people in daily life, each song plays as a soundtrack to any given moment or emotion. Presenting a wide range of styles and influences, Endless Rituals displays a dynamic electro/rock sound that is sure to appease fans of the likes of Depeche Mode, Thomas Dolby, and Gary Numan, all the while with a sound that belongs totally to Snuttock. From the gritty and robotic darkwave of “Single Cell Antennae,” the scathing industrialized rockiness of “Crawl” or “Attention,” to the funky bitterness of “Spitting into the Wind,” the piano-laden melancholy of “People Too,” to upbeat new wave bounciness of “Advice,” Endless Rituals is at once diverse and cohesive, offering something from every end of the electronic spectrum, as perfect for dance floor abandon as it is for thoughtful introspection.

 

As part of this special deluxe package, the CD edition comes complete with four additional tracks, including a remix of “Spiders” from Snuttock’s first album, Straight Jacket Life. Featuring guest vocals by Steve Boone and Mia Regalado, Bryan Lee and Christopher Lee prove themselves to be a veritable force to be reckoned with. Endless Rituals makes Snuttock a surefire up-and-coming hero in the modern electronic underground.
