News Sneaks signs to Merge with Gymnastics reissue July 26, 2016

On September 9, we will welcome Sneaks to Merge Records with the reissue of her debut album Gymnastics, which Impose called one of its favorite records of 2015. Check out “True Killer” below, and pre-order the album on CD or LP in the Merge store or digitally.



Sneaks songs are the mesmerizing post-punk incantations of Washington, DC’s Eva Moolchan. Bass and drum machine underpin Moolchan’s compelling vocals, and the music straddles several decades of serious minimalist fun to create her own unique niche of rock. “The songs came together pretty fast, very tongue-in-cheek,” writes Moolchan of Gymnastics. “I was playing with how we use language and twisting the words of mundane slogans, ads, and repetitive symbols I was seeing while attending school.”



Sneaks is currently recording her sophomore album to be released on Merge in early 2017. While her music and lyrics are rooted in punk, Sneaks’ live shows often provide the joy and release of a dance party. See the band on tour this fall, with more dates to be announced soon.

Aug 19 Washington, DC — Black Cat w/ The Julie Ruin
