Mould Announce Second EP ‘Almost Feels Like Purpose’ Arriving April 24th & Shares New Single ‘SNAILS Out Via 5dB Records

Bristol power trio MOULD announce second EP ‘Almost Feels Like Purpose’, set for release April 24th, and share new track ‘SNAILS’ (video here) out today following its BBC 6 Music Huw Stephens premiere via 5dB Records.

Recorded in summer last year at Bristol’s Humm Studios, ‘Almost Feels Like Purpose’ bristles with pent-up frustration and showcases frontman Joe Sherrin’s sardonic reflections in full flow. Marking the follow-up to riotous autumn lead single ‘CHUNKS’, ‘SNAILS’ sees Sherrin take inspiration from his big lyrical heroes Dave Berman and Nick Cave, with the songwriter personifying his dissatisfaction into the helpless character of a baby, conjuring an image of “feeding my malaise by the spoon”.

With sustained support throughout the press community (NME, DIY, Dork, So Young, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, Rolling Stone UK, Rough Trade, Brooklyn Vegan), as well as repeated spins across the BBC 6 Music (Huw Stephens, Amy Lamé) and Radio X (John Kennedy) airwaves, MOULD have already kicked off 2025 in style with acclaimed London and Bristol headline shows, ahead of a mammoth live plot being readied for their second EP’s arrival.

Speaking ahead of its release, Joe Sherrin explained: “‘SNAILS’ is about one giant friendly snail who eats everyone's gardens but no one minds because he's so friendly until one day he chews through the Lord mayor's conservatory and is sentenced to death. Can the town come together to free him? To be continued...

It's probably my favourite off the new EP. It has a big, poppy chorus that I'm chuffed with, it came out sounding banging straight away, credit to Dom at Humm Studios there. He thought I was singing "feed me mayonnaise" in the verse. Just want to be clear here, this isn't a song about mayonnaise. It's about Snails.
