Kin Lodge = Volcano Choir + Phoebe Bridgers + Iron & Wine
There are some songs that just make you see the world differently. Through poignant lyricism and subtle instrumentation, Kin Lodge’s new track, “Snakeroot,” paints sorrowful vignettes highlighting the effects of seemingly insignificant details in life. The lyrics may seem nonsensical superficially, but the meaning is found on a deeper, more soulful level. The track starts softly, with dreamy keys echoing next to vocals which grow with urgency. Kin Lodge slowly brings more instruments into prominence with every verse, from careful horns to delicate percussion and a discreet, softly-plucked banjo. After showing restraint, “Snakeroot” culminates in a roaring, overdriven guitar passage that makes you want to scream into the sky. With this track, Kin Lodge has created a gorgeous catharsis that never leaves you.
