There’s a sense of contrast between softness and intensity running through Burst, the latest single from Snowcuffs. The Chicago group shape atmosphere carefully, but this time the emotional current feels closer to the surface.
Burst previews the band’s forthcoming EP, Sweet Gravity, slated for early 2026. The song opens on a bassline that immediately anchors the listener. Guitars dissolve into reverb, creating a sense of depth, and the drums maintain a controlled drive, giving the track forward motion. The vocals arrive with intent, and there is a balance of weight and air that gives the song its character.
The song is a portrait of reaching the limit, then recognizing the necessity of release. It strikes as a sweet number that acknowledges breakdown as a turning point.
Snowcuffs are developing their sound while maintaining the intimacy that distinguishes them, and the momentum they are creating is constantly mounting.
