After his first debut album was lost to the unforgiving digital gods due to a fried hard drive in 2001, The Snodgrass returns 20 years later with his second debut album: "Styloid Process EP"
File under all of the usual cliches: midlife crisis, global pandemic, boredom, time, WWIII, priviledge, blah, blah, blah... All of it, it's all true.
In the end, the EP is simply a collection of songs from a snapshot in time spanning the various emotions of an individual working through all of the above. From the festively bouncy "Pepitas" to the contemplative (and aptly-titled) "What A Time To Be Dead", Snod hopes you enjoy this EP.
Jordan Snodgrass is a San Diego native, Imputor? Records co-founder, one half of IDM supergroup (LOL!) Calculator Man & Hangar, former Rocket From The Crypt Web Lackey, and graduate of UCSD with a degree in cognitive science and specialization in computation. Rather than spending those 4 years getting toasted and mastering hacky sack, he spent them researching the effects of monotonous drum beats on brainwaves.
Crumbs from his mid-aughts noodlings can be found scattered across the web: Remix work for San Diego's Tristeza ("Mixed Signals"), Via Satellite ("Cliff"), and Ilya ("Isola"), as well as a compilation appearance ("45 Seconds of:") alongside artists such as Lusine, DJ Spooky, Leafcutter John, Dntel, Electric Company, + a ton more. He has performed live shows with: The Album Leaf, Dntel, Hrvatski, Greg Davis, Fax, Thingy, The Spacewurm, Languis, IQU, Ursula 1000, FCS North, Randomnumber, + more.
A fried hard drive in 2001 derailed his music career, his debut album "It Takes A Nation of Inidie Rockers to Hold Me Back" lost to the unforgiving digital gods.
20 years later he returned with his second debut album: "Styloid Process EP," quickly followed by the "Growlbient" LP and the "Music For 1 Musician" EP.
