Snow Day by lylas
LYLAS return after their second LP, 'Do You Believe In Blood?' with 'Snow Day', a six song ep very much in the vein of their previous release. The dirge- like, "Aye Drive" starts this 10" record with a thick wall of strings and banjo. This thematic EP is the perfect companion to 'Do You Believe In Blood?' and takes similar cues, while expanding on LYLAS's signature, dark folk sound.
