"Deep from the frost of the long winter a new band has emerged with a broad primeval sound, plotting for you to step on and blow your little urban mind." - The Deli Magazine

"A smattering of musical imprints tie into a spiritual episode of swells and contradictions of peaks and valleys. They hold a tenuous balance of modern and classical elements that inspires a meditative, dreamlike state. " - The Deli Magazine

"Saucer eyes is about finding a safe place to hide with somebody else, where no one can judge you as foolish or quixotic" - Spinner

"They're a band that's getting us really excited at the end of the day" - Noisey / Vice

"Wonderful, slightly off-kilter verses lead into soaring, dreamy choruses featuring layer upon layer of jangly guitar, with arrangements reaching symphonic proportions and draped with soft, clean falsetto voices that you always suspect of wry and knowing cynicism under all that sugar coating." - Bandcamp

"Under the cracked pavements of indie music comes shooting out a pastel colored herb with the name of SNOWMINE. This herb/band treats our sentimental tears and wounds. How? Well, three words, Laminate Pet Animal. " “the cohesiveness and melting of instruments tranquilized the audience and took them to an island with their first lovers.” - Ear Milk

Snowmine from Brooklyn, NY, feels like the discovery of the year. "Laminate Pet Animal" the band's debut album is brilliant. Definitely one of my favorites of 2011 so far. - Gold Sounds

"delightful beats and wonderfully layered textures create a gorgeous landscape..." - The Wounded Jukebox

"Favorites from 2011, the dreamy techno-orchestrations of the Brooklyn band Snowmine." - The New York Times

The kind of music that shoots you to indie stardom. The kind of music that suspends the listener over a flourishing soundscape, the kind that makes you want to close your eyes and just listen. - Selective Culture

"They are the new inspiration behind mood-enhancing, mood-extracting, mood-enforcing music and find theirs a very clever demonstration all around. " - Beat Crave

Sublime electronic hooks, tight percussion, bright guitars, and vocals reminiscent of bands such as Yeasayer and Local Natives. - Hear Ya

Snowmine is able to masterfully create a sound unlike any other. - Stereo/Pirate

"vibrant and echoing indie psych-pop" "their bold vessel carries elements of classic afrobeat, electro-acoustic soundscapes, 20th Century Classical orchestrations, and plenty of hooks. " - Brightest Young Things

I fucking love SNOWMINE! I was introduced to them through this track, Nervous, and I’ve been addicted to them ever since. - Pixel Raver

"Not too many folks have that charm and pop expertise." - Pasta Primavera

" hot tracks straight outta awesome-town, awesome..." - Be Nice Art Friends

"Vocals like these don't show up too often. These guys from Brooklyn know what's up... At first listen, the vocals on "Penny" are vaguely reminicient to Robin Pecknold's of Fleet Foxes (along with the entire musical backing). While the falsettos in his voice on "The Hill" resemble that of Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend. There are definitely a slew of influences going on here. Keep an eye on these guys..." - Something Civil

"Grayson Sanders directs the band’s show with a magnetic stage presence and the players fall into lock-step not often seen in such a young group of musicians. " "Their take on orchestral pop has incredibly strong vision - the kind of song writing that’s not done by accident. " - YVYNL

"This song for some ODD reason captured EXACTLY my mood. It’s a weird feeling I get when music knows how to heal a mood perfectly. PS this band is from Brooklyn NY? Okay." - Sweet Little Things

"Snowmine creates sunny, almost feel good music in the vein of Fleet Foxes, Lord Huron, or We Are Trees. There are elements of the EP that are highly orchestral and lush, with an emphasis on soaring melodies and jangling guitars. There are generous amounts of singing strings, pounding percussion, and giddy guitar work. Snowy, billowing vocals avalanche with gentle orchestration." - Unholy Rhythms

"Big Beats. If Jurassic Park had a house band, it would sound like Snowmine. " - Pop Wreckoning

I cannot stop listening to The Hill by @SNOWMINEMUSIC! Thanks to them paying attention to their fans on twitter I have been lucky enough to get a 4 track teaser of their upcoming album Laminate Pet Animal. You can stream all four tracks on Bandcamp until the album is released. I hope that will be in time to add it to my list of 2010 favorites, but it may not be until 2011. I wish there were some videos that I could post because according to Facebook they have a video sorcerer on staff named Mark ‘Dr. Mojo’ Johnson. Until then, get teased by these. - Epic Concoction
