In the United Kingdom it is custom to decorate graves with green glass chippings. For Snuff, those said Green Glass Chipping serve as metaphor and title of the only harbinger of their new album, which will be released on April 22, 2022.
While on the one hand the track is a commentary on nationalism, at the same time it’s about (not) doing certain things before you die. One might think that this doesn’t go together, but with Snuff everything goes. The gentlemen from Harlow span the thematic arc to the warning that national pride should never be felt out of blind obedience and without reflection and salute those who have not made this mistake in their lives.
“Personally, I am not patriotic, especially with what is going on in this country right now, but there is an argument that if you love your country for the good things, it does then that is ok. However, if you love your country regardless of the bad things it does, or the harm it causes, then that is a form of mental illness. You are choosing to believe in myths, lies, and unicorns and are placing yourself as superior”, explains icon Duncan Redmonds.
Partly inspired by losing his father to dementia, Green Glass Chippings was written during a lockdown. The accompanying lyric video therefore focuses primarily on Duncan’s words.
Crepuscolo Dorato will be released on April 22, 2022 on SBÄM Records (worldwide) and the band’s own 10 Past 12 Records (UK).
