Scottish indie rock band The Snuts and South London singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri have collaborated on the former’s latest single, “End of the Road“, which can be heard down below. The track was produced in London’s Abbey Road Studios by Detonate and Coffee.
According to The Snuts frontman Jack Cochrane, the song is “A remedy for heartache. We wanted the track to be direct and truly versify a sense of self-forgiveness and redemption.” And as for their special guest vocalist, “The soothing tones of our friend Rachel Chinouriri, who features heavily in the song, helps inject an almost confessional burst of light throughout.”
It sounds like Chinouriri was happy with the result as well, saying that the song “came about quite spontaneously, which is sometimes how the best things come about. I really loved it when I first heard it and when I met the boys the lyrics and melody came to us so naturally.”
Of course, Chinouriri hasn’t been shy about her own material lately, planning her third EP to follow up 2021’s Four° In Winter. You can also hear her latest single “All I Ever Asked“ down below.
“End of the Road” comes about as The Snuts continue to work on their next LP, following their 2021 debut W.L.. However, the record’s a bit of a tall order to follow up with, considering it was the first debut from a Scottish band to debut at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart for over a decade; but hopefully they’ve got some tricks up their sleeve for when the next one comes out.
Both parties also have some gigs coming up to watch out for. You can find tickets for The Snuts here, and Chinouriri can be found here. Their dates can be seen below.
