They came from the trees. Now settled in fertile east London, Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest.
Snapped Ankles outsider status has always allowed them to hold a mirror up to society. Now the boundaries are not so clear. In the seven years since Come Play The Trees was released, their cult has flourished. Second album, Stunning Luxury, saw the band invited to play the BBC 6 Music Festival and a KEXP session on the back of a sold-out UK tour which culminated with two nights at Village Underground in London. As those who have witnessed the shamanic ritual of their live shows will attest, they are a truly unique, communal experience. Forest Of Your Problems saw the woodwose bring their ancient forest rhythms and high-wire, multi-media live act to ever bigger stages - including Camden’s iconic Roundhouse and SXSW and Desert Daze festivals.
2025 sees the release of new album Hard Times Furious Dancing and their most extensive UK and European tour to date, which includes a London show at legendary nightclub Fabric. It showcases the ‘Forest Rayve’ sound they’ve been road-testing at their club nights and select shows in 2024.
