Snacking: Not Here After satiating fans’ hunger pangs with a tour-only EP last November, St. Petersburg emo quartet Snacking returned with Not Here, it’s six-track, September release of big-bodied, open-hearted and deeply melodic sad boy anthems that begs to be screamed at the top of your lungs.
The release wants to be held tight when the band spreads out on sprawling cuts like “Weathervane” and “Rocket Town,” but those looking for a simple taste should sample the punchy “Genius, Actually” and take another slice for later.
