Snapping Turtle Comes Out of Hibernation with Ambient Debut

Philadelphia, PA, July 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- If swimming with fish and burying yourself in mud is your thing, then light up some candles and enjoy. Snapping Turtle's music has been described as noisy, experimental and distorted ambient. Whatever the case, ‘April Throw’ is supposed to take the listener on an underwater journey that follows a snapping turtle from its awakening out of hibernation to the hunt for mating and food. You’ll get all the audio brain-tickling you can handle with this one. If you can close your eyes and imagine it, the album seems to become a masterful soundscape of many scenes, from swimming under busy highway bridges to attacking prey at the surface of the water. Of course, if you’re not from the eastern half of North America, some of the references may elude you. Self described as “sonic disturbance,” or “a computer music revolt,” Snapping Turtle is sure to ruffle some feathers in the genre, pulling at every artistic heart string. But is ‘April Throw’ an inspiring story of one animals’ struggle for survival or a scathing critique on U.S. Art? With audio references to Warhol, factory direct purchasing and the sliding U.S. housing market, it’s anybody’s guess. There are perhaps multiple levels of interpretation to the recording that make it even more intriguing. With its completely abstract nature and totally awesome album Artwork, its likely you’ll have to decide for yourself. At the website, there is even bonus Art available for download direct to your desktop that is worth every penny. One thing is for certain, this American ambient debut will have you coming back for a second feeding. You can listen to the entire album for free at the website and even click a “multi-media” link to interact with snapping turtle videos from YouTube. Perhaps the website puts it best- “Stare at this Art while listening to the album for complete mental overload.”
