Snowman have run into some Visa problems and been forced to cancel (or at least postpone) their upcoming US tour. The group will need to wait an extra 60 days for all their paperwork to be approved, with the process delayed due to the fact that co-frontman Andy Citawarman has previously visited Saudi Arabia. Even if the group do decide to pick up the tour after the two month 'timeout' they will still miss their slot at the highly respected CMJ Festival.

Record Reviews
Snowman
The Horse, The Rat and The Swan
The Horse, The Rat and The Swan sounds as though it was recorded in a single weekend. This isn't to say that the album sounds rushed or unfinished - far from that in fact, some details seem to have been painfully slaved over - but more that the record perfectly captures a specific moment. This record is the documentation of the events that occurred when the band locked themselves in a supposedly haunted castle and scared themselves shitless for 48 hours. It's the reinterpretation of a fictional story where the line between mystic worlds and real life is blurred. It's spooky. It's scary. It's undeniably brilliant. It's quite possibly the hardest record ever to explain without over-the-top descriptive tom-foolery.
