Best of 2019 #4: Snapped Ankles - Stunning Luxury (Leaf)

London's Snapped Ankles is another band I discovered thanks to the KEXP Clash Day celebrations last year. Their live performance was incredible, energetic and wildly oddball. Their music kind of like if Devo met the Gang of Four. It's got the manic energy and driving electronic music lines of classic Devo albums, but the snarky and pointed politics of Gang of Four. And like Devo, they use costumes, dance routines/stage directions and multi media presentations during their live performances. Stunning Luxury is just their second full length album, but they have 4 EPs and a bunch of singles to their credit too.
