The Sneaks - Early Recordings 1981 1984

Review by Lemuel Boyce

Sneaks' Early Recordings 1981-1984 is a captivating album that showcases the early works of the experimental artist. The album features a collection of lo-fi, minimalist tracks that are both raw and charming.

The album opens with "Tough Luck," a track that sets the tone for what's to come. The song is driven by Sneaks' signature bass grooves, and her rhythmic vocal delivery adds a compelling layer to the mix.

Throughout the album, Sneaks' unique blend of post-punk, hip-hop, and electronic music is on full display. Tracks like "New Taste" and "X.T.Y." highlight her ability to create infectious hooks with minimal instrumentation.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "PBNJ." The song's sparse instrumentation and Sneaks' deadpan delivery create a hypnotic atmosphere that draws the listener in.

While the album's lo-fi production may not be for everyone, it's an integral part of Sneaks' sound. The rawness of the recordings adds to the album's charm and authenticity.
