Dutch indie-pop quartet SNOW COATS are pleased to reveal their racing new summer single ‘Chevy’ which is released on 9th June 2022 Alcopop! Records.
The track is the third to be taken from their forthcoming second album, scheduled for a late 2022 release, and follows on from the winter 2021 lead single ‘Right Fit’ and follow up track ‘Anyway’ released earlier this year.
The band will be heading to our shores for their first ever run of UK tour dates in June 2022 supporting Boston’s Future Teens, with tickets on sale now (see below for listings).
Commenting on the track, vocalist and mandolin player Anouk van der Kamp says: “’Chevy’ is about old friends, awkward conversations and social anxiety.”
Completed by bassist Frank Peters and twin brothers Daan (guitar) and Joost Ebbers (drums), the four-piece met while studying music at performing arts school in Arnhem. Snow Coats was originally formed as a final exam project, but after graduating the band decided that they loved playing together so much that they would continue writing, and have been best friends ever since.
The band released their debut album Take The Weight Off Your Shoulders in the summer of 2018. Artfully self-recorded at home in their parents’ attics, the record was named as the #1 album of 2018 by highly regarded Dutch alternative pop platform 3voor12Gelderland.
The album release was followed by an extensive tour of The Netherlands and a 2019 support tour opening for Pinegrove, with word of their sparkling indie pop eventually reaching UK shores and ears in early 2020 as the band signed to Alcopop! Records and released the Pool Girl EP.
Already burrowing their way into the ears and hearts of UK fans with alarming speed, the Pool Girl EP received support from CLASH, Rock Sound, DORK Magazine, The Forty Five, God Is In The TV Zine, Get In Her Ears and more.
The band have also soundtracked the official trailer for the BBC Radio 4 Summer Comedy Festival, scored a #1 in the Dutch Indie XL chart, and received spins from Radio X’s John Kennedy, BBC Radio One’s Indie Show with Jack Saunders, and Amazing Radio’s Audition new music show with Charlie Ashcroft.
The EP’s lead single ‘Pool Girl’ was a featured tune on the Co-Op Edit with Hattie Pearson, playlisted at Idobi Anthm, and also picked up a slew of regional and specialist radio support.
The first two singles from their forthcoming new album were supported by Tom Robinson at BBC 6music, added to the KINK Radio playlist, the Idobi Radio playlist, and picked up heavy rotation at Amazing Radio.
The band will be revealing more new music and further details of the second album over the coming months.
‘Chevy’ is released 9th June 2022 via Alcopop! Records
