SNAILGUN 'Glass Walls' LP

Debut album from Naarm post-punk noise rock band Snailgun released on Undunn Records

“This is Post-Punk Noise Rock as tactical weaponry... There's no wasted motion in Snailgun's arsenal; every reverb-drenched chord and rhythmic click is engineered for maximum impact, creating an atmosphere of stylish menace that's both elegantly restrained and lethally effective. The band operates across borders of genre and fervour, tracking down the intersection of noir vestiges, New Wave nostalgia, and modern alienation with the methodical thoroughness of an elite unit, turning metropolitan menace and desolate souls into something dangerously engaging." - Stacey Ratti of Bad
Batch magazine, Issue #6

Snailgun's debut album GLASS WALLS features aggressive and clangy guitars and pop sensibility. It meanders between short and blistering noise
tracks (" D", "Straight Ahead") and long guitar-driven odyssey jams ("Screamy Cat", "Shadow Operator").

Glass Walls was featured by The Albums Collector on Instagram (@thealbumscolector) - #35 for best albums of April and #7 for best albums of Week 16.

Backseat Mafia gave the album an 86% and had this to say: "‘Glass Walls’ is a nuclear bomb of a debut: acerbic, sardonic and bleak, filled with the odd ray of sunshine that filters through the dark clouds. The guitars cut through the atmosphere like a scythe wielded by a crazed post-apocalyptic demon and the lyrics reveal a poetic weariness, louche and nihilistic."

See/Saw had this to say about the album: "Melbourne's Snailgun deliver an album of driving post punk that feels indebted to 90's alternative at first blush. Stick around and you'll find an album with so many layers. The saxophone bleating at the back half of "Labyrinth" gradually melds with these beatific melodies, so there's this scramble of sweetness and sharpness. There are tracks that jam on for seven or eight minutes, and what's impressive is how well they pull off that sound."
