Throwing Snow has shared his new single ‘Lithics’, which is out now on the Houndstooth label. A slow-burning and dark offering, the track is built on driving, menacing drums, haunting strings and smoldering synth spreads. The song follows Throwing Snow’s previously released EP The Folly of Pangloss, which landed back in 2020.
Regarding the song, Throwing Snow said:
“‘Lithics’ is the result of experiments with traditional instruments that I’ve been trying to learn over the last few years. The Bodhrán emulates an 808 kick while the Daff takes the snare and higher elements. The string line that intermingles with the synths is the Indian Esraj with a contact mic on the bridge played through various pedals.”
