S.G. Goodman – Snapping Turtle
Today, S.G. Goodman released her new single “Snapping Turtle,” the third from her forthcoming third studio album, Planting by the Signs, due out June 20 via her very own Slough Water Records / Thirty Tigers.
The accompanying music video is created from early footage from Academy Award-nominated, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillon Sheldon’s 2023 film King Coal.
As usual, her precise and unique southern imagery sear through – this track opens with S.G. twisting the script on kids taking a lick at a snapping turtle.
Says S.G. about the track: “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.”
“Snapping Turtle” follows the release of singles “Satellite” and “Fire Sign.”
Her first album in three years, Planting by the Signs is a reminder of the Kentucky born and raised singer-songwriter’s razor-sharp lyricism, singular voice and seamless blend of indie rock and subtle rural influences.
