"Colchester based 'Snippet' produce quirky pop music with funky folky twist.
Snippet's music is shot through with a dry sense of humour, toasty warm vocals and various sounds delivered via a quirky imagination.
Snippet’s debut 4 track e.p ‘I’m Peckish’ was released in 2008 via the independent electronic music imprint Steal My Oil records and picked up rave reviews and featured on various radio shows and podcasts.
Tom Robinson has featured 3 Snippet tracks on his Introducing show recently plus being featured on the Best of 2008 on BBC6 Music .
Snippet is the brainchild of singer/songwriter/musician Johnno Casson.
Snippet also writes and works with other artists. A recent collaboration has been with the wonderfully talented artist/producer 'Wim Oudijk’ for a version of the Snippet favourite 'Just to let u know' which is now included on Wim's new *Love* album.
Snippet is currently working with Wim in the producers chair on brand new tracks which should see the light of day soon.Keep checking in as this material is sounding excellent and ' Snippets' will be posted from time to time.
The original version of 'Just to let u know' is also included on the Norwegian compilation CD - "Around the world with My Little Pony, vol.1" from ace Norwegian band 'My Little Pony'.
The Snippet song ‘Lovely Ugly People’ is due to beincluded on Volume 2 of the 'Birdsongs,Beesongs' compilation in April 09 from those good people at Eardrums music.
If you fancy something a little cheeky, squeaky and quite uniquey then throw on your shades, pull up a deckchair and dip your toe in!"
Glad to hear that! I'm looking out to get my hands on the imposter and tame the beast... You know me, the bigger the better:-) I've still got Warm on my desk...haven't found the right approach yet...have tried to make it sound ballsy but that doesn't seem to work...now I'm going for light and fluffy...we'll see. Also working on one of Pete and his merry men's songs.
