Primitive, urgent, and confrontational, ‘Come Play the Trees’ introduced Snapped Ankles as messengers from a collapsing boundary between city and forest. The debut album framed itself as both warning and celebration, channelling the idea that nature will inevitably reclaim what has been stripped from it. Built from log synths, bass guitar, and hand-played percussion, the record sounded simultaneously ancient and futuristic, imagining dance music after technological failure. Rather than polish or escapism, the album embraced rawness, repetition, and physical rhythm, creating a sound that felt ritualistic, feral, and alive.

Across ‘Come Play the Trees’, Snapped Ankles fused post-punk energy with krautrock motorik drive and DIY electronics. Fuzzed guitars collided with rolling, distorted synthesisers, igniting dense textures that felt both hypnotic and confrontational. Lyrical ideas drifted freely between folklore, dystopian futures, high art, and everyday cultural debris, treating all with equal importance. The result was a record that resisted hierarchy, rejecting the artificial divide between nature and modern life. Danceable yet uneasy, playful yet political, the album stood as a call to reconnect through movement, noise, and collective experience. ‘Come Play the Trees’ announced Snapped Ankles as a band rooted in resistance, ritual, and the stubborn persistence of the wild within the urban world.
