Snailbeach is the alias of Theo Williams, a 23-year-old artist based in South London. According to his bio, His take on Indie-Folk has a whimsical quality contrasted by nostalgic lyrics which tackle human relationships and mortality. Their music is influenced by the likes of Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed. We introduced them with the tracks “Fireflies in the Sun” and “Strangers“; “Tonight I’ll Go Quietly” is the new single.
On the new track Theo explains: “”The song continues the theme of nostalgia which runs a thread through the EP. I think the lyric “the days get longer but life gets shorter” encapsulates much of this sentiment; it’s meant in a kinda playful, tongue in cheek way. I wanted this one to feel like being in a dingy that’s rocking on the water. The production is full of tape hiss, I think it sounds like somewhere between the Soggy Bottom Boys and something off of Cohen’s ‘Songs From A Room’. Easily one of the most fun to record.””
