Cool Girl Video

Asa and Annie have produced a video for their new single. Have a look, and read about the backstory to the EP with Annie below.

SNUBA’s Annie Higham:

“I started writing and recording a lot of songs during lockdown when I was living at home and doing online uni and had a lot of time on my hands. I started using Ableton and being able to record stuff in midi was totally transformative because it gave me total control without having to be limited to my own skills on guitar and piano. Asa had already been making his own music so it felt like a natural next step to try and collaborate on something.

I essentially gave him a bunch of demos which he produced and added instrumentation to. The only track on the EP that was made differently than that is Flowers which we developed together from an instrumental line he had made. We’ve already started working on music for our next project and are using both these methods to produce songs which are really fun. I would also love to play some of the songs live in whatever capacity we can because they’ve always been very digital.

The songs were all written in a four month period when my life was going through a lot of changes so they chart my move to Hamburg, as well as my graduation and the first time we got to hang out with some friends since lockdown had begun. We spent about a year and a half working on them on and off so they really function as a time capsule for me now.”
