Philadelphia’s SNACKTIME has been causing quite the stir in 2024. The Philadelphia septet is unleashing arguably their best single yet with “SPACELUV” which premiered on Paste Magazine. The track begins with a build-up that is meant to be listened to with the volume all the way up before taking fans on a whimsical journey once the vocals kick in. This track serves as a follow-up to their debut studio singles “TOGETHER,” “I DON’T GIVE A DAMN,” and most recently, “THE HIGH LIFE,” all produced by Will Yip (Scowl, Movements, Turnstile, Bartees Strange).
Fusing elements of soul, funk, punk, pop, and R&B, SNACKTIME formed during the height of the pandemic in August 2020. Initially, the group began performing free shows in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square that combined their love of music, food, and togetherness. They quickly amassed huge crowds and became a symbol of positivity and lockdown release, while showcasing the richness of their city’s musical history and community. This progressed to sold-out headlining shows, and performances at festivals including Life Is Beautiful (Las Vegas, NV), Sea.Hear.Now (Asbury Park, NJ), Sound on Sound (Bridgeport, CT), and Eric Andre’s 40th Birthday Party (New York City).
About the new single “SPACELUV,” SNACKTIME says "You unlock this door with the key of imagination. You see a dance floor. Across that dance floor, you see the most beautiful alien you could ever imagine. They lock eyes with you (6, to your 2). You're absolutely smitten. The alien band you're hearing has you on the verge of madness. Love? It couldn’t be, way too soon. Is it the music? Is it mind control? No one can really know. Next thing you know, you're being beamed up to their ship. You have fallen in SPACELUV.”
After incredible performances at SXSW in March and a U.S. tour supporting Portugal. The Man, SNACKTIME will be hitting the road once again with Portugal. The Man this July, including a performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre (select dates also include Tegan & Sara). These summer shows will follow the band’s biggest New York headlining show to date, June 20 at Bowery Ballroom.
