The latest single from S.G. Goodman continues her upcoming album's foray into the indie rock side of her sound while keeping Americana roots intact. "Snapping Turtle" is a slow burn song that contains a heavy amount of tension throughout. It's sparse yet lush, and while the term "haunting" gets thrown around a lot when it comes to music, "Snapping Turtle" truly is. There's a quiet feedback or noise lingering below the surface of the song that you'll barely notice at first, and even at its loudest is just barely audible. Goodman has created a song that is rather intense despite how quiet and slow moving it is.
S.G. Goodman says of her latest single:
“My anxiety and depression had been amounting to weird realistic dreams, where I would vividly enter certain eras of my childhood and young adulthood. I upped my therapy to two, sometimes three times a week during my time at home, and the song 'Snapping Turtle' is a reflection of that.
"That song came to me as seasons that have passed, and is a window into my process of understanding the impact of moving through time and in understanding how it shapes you and others, as well as reconciling with both a past and future where certain factors were out of your control. It’s a seamless story, with no true chorus, much like my persistent dreams and conversations in therapy.”
