All the Cages Holding Us Will One Day Turn to Dust by Snag

For fans of Frail Body, Loma Prieta, Truck Violence, the heavier edges of the indie emo revival, and the perverse hope of the end of days, All the Cages Holding Us Will One Day Turn to Dust by Snag rallies us to hold our heads high in this impossible moment using a warm yet aggressive emo tone. Ensemble vocals invoke a sense of community that pulls us into the light of something beyond, a tense optimism aided by ascending chord progressions and cathartic drum performances. Lyrically acknowledging our uncertainty, this future isn’t painted as something concrete or well-defined, but our unshakable faith in its nearness drives this album’s unexpectedly optimistic tone. We don’t know where we’re going, but the fact that we’re moving means today and all its subtle evils will one day lie at our feet, reduced to a pathetic pile of dust.
