Believe it or not The High Llamas were a 90s band, such was their knack of nailing the purest of Big Star meets The Band and Steely Dan sounds. Their peak-back catalogue gets a Drag City reissue with some records making it onto big disc for the first time. Perfection!
After the high times and critical-mass arrangements of the previous two records, Snowbug exuded a breezy, spare, morning-after vibe. Edified by all manner of world-folk, classic Brazilian pop and the first volumes of the Ethiopiques comp, the Llamas recorded in London with Fulton Dingley and in Chicago with Bundy K. Brown and Jim O’Rourke engineering at Electrical Audio and John McEntire mixing at Soma. Snowbug is an understated, underrated gem.
