Snailhouse is the brainchild of Montreal based artist Mike Feuerstack. Gently knocking on the door of success for over 15 years now, Feuerstacks’ songs are timeless; instantly true and recognizable before they’ve even hit the chorus. The kind of artist that is always subtlety complex and beautifully memorable. Clever wit matched with an honest delivery.
Over the course of 5 albums and an EP, Snailhouse has earned a very loyal following around the world and featured contributors as diverse and renowned as Julie Doiron, Dave Draves, Angela Desveaux, members of Arcade Fire, Wintersleep, Bell Orchestre, Maritime and The Acorn – to name a few.
Feuerstack was a founding member of art-rock band Wooden Stars, who were awarded a Juno for best alternative album for their collaboration with Julie Doiron, titled Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars. Mike also plays in Bell Orchestre (Juno winners, Polaris nominees) and with Angela Desveaux.
As with Snailhouse’s last record “Lies on the Prize,” Jeremy Gara (of Arcade Fire) takes a mixing and co-production role. “Lies on the Prize” was widely acclaimed (including a Polaris nomination) for its panoramic and literate musicality. May 24th will see the co-release of “Sentimental Gentleman” on White Whale Records and Forward Music in Canada and Mi Amante Records in Germany.
