The High Llamas - Snowbug [2LP]

Immerse yourself in the lush, sun-soaked sounds of The High Llamas’ Snowbug, now available on double vinyl. Originally released in 1999, this album finds Sean O’Hagan and company blending bossa nova, lounge pop, and experimental orchestration into a dreamy, richly textured sonic journey.

With shimmering tracks like “Bach Ze”, “The American Scene”, and “Cookie Bay”, Snowbug showcases the band’s signature mix of intricate arrangements and breezy melodies. The album features collaborations with Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier and Mary Hansen, adding a hypnotic vocal charm to its already whimsical atmosphere. Expect delicate strings, warm synths, and jazzy chord progressions that transport you straight to a cinematic, pastel-hued dreamscape.

For fans of Brian Wilson, Stereolab, and classic exotica, this 2LP edition is a must-have. Whether you're revisiting this overlooked gem or discovering it for the first time, Snowbug remains a beautifully crafted escape into vintage pop sophistication.
