Stunning luxury is available for a limited time only.
21 Metres To Hebden Bridge is a ragged-edged document of Snapped Ankles’ 2019 live show, during which they sold out and sold up venues the length and breadth of the country. The woodwose donned their sharpest suits, and took their estate agent guise on the road. The infamous log synths became For Sale signs. The venues were measured up — 21 metres from the Hebden Bridge Trades Club stage to the pool table (accurate as of Oct. 12, 2019). A survey completed via primal, driving rock ’n’ roll. A sales pitch, a handshake. Another deal sealed, before driving to the next town and doing it all over again. The hits are racking up: I Want My Minutes Back, Rechargeable, Drink and Glide and Letter from Hampi Mountain all present and incorrect. A dance floor that flexed so hard the room shook. While one woodwose goes to work with a tape measure, the others beat hell out of their instruments like their life depends on it.”
