What’s worse than finding yourself lying awake late at night, requiring nourishment, but stuck with the realization that nothing all that edible is open at 3 in the morning? A Great Big Pile of Leaves can relate. When lead singer/guitarist Peter Weiland found himself in this predicament, his mind went about creating the Dismemberment Plan-sounding ode to this dilemma for the band’s new track ‘Snack Attack.’ Frustrations be damned if this isn’t one of the group’s most satisfyingly catchy beach-pop songs yet. Weiland puts it best: "The song is like a trip to the boardwalk and a ride down the tallest, twisty-est waterslide on the hottest day." Just remember to take care of your munchies after going down that waterslide.
The band will release You’re Always On My Mind on July 2nd (Topshelf Records). Join them for their record release at Webster Hall’s studio on July 13th, and check out ‘Snack Attack’ below. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
