Snugsworth has always had a way of blending raw honesty with unexpected genre shifts, and his upcoming EP, titled But Now That All the People Are Dead, It’s a Good Town Again, pushes that balance even further. Dropping October 13, the project serves as both a farewell to old emotions and an entryway into a new chapter of his artistry.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to release past emotions that I don’t relate to anymore… it’s just nice to have an opportunity to express myself.”
When I sat down with Snugsworth to talk about the project, he was candid about the themes behind it. Written during a difficult time, the EP grapples with suicidal ideation, anger, and regret, but also manages to find space for rebellion, love, and even hope.
“It’s a mixed bag,” he said. “It’s got anger. It’s got sadness. It’s got regret. It’s got rebellion. It’s a mix. It’s even got some love in there. It’s nice.”
A Shift in Lyricism
One of the things that sets this project apart in his discography is the way he approached the lyrics. In the past, Snugsworth often leaned toward abstraction, wrapping meaning in vagueness and metaphor. This time, he’s cutting straight to the point.
“With some of these songs I just say exactly what I mean without trying to be clever or mysterious.”
That blunt lyricism feels like both a continuation and a departure. Sonically, fans will recognize certain threads tying back to his earlier work, but they’ll also find new territory being explored.
Moving Beyond Singles
Another notable shift: Snugsworth is thinking bigger than just one-off singles.
“I’m kind of wanting to shy away from doing singles as much anymore,” he explained. “I feel like the difference between watching a TV episode or a movie, you know? I’ve done a lot of TV episodes. I want to do more movies, even if it’s just a short film.”
Looking Ahead
While this EP represents a closing of one chapter, Snugsworth is already looking forward to what comes next. He knows the stories he wants to tell – though the resources and timing will determine which ones come first.
“Some stuff is a lot more accessible,” he said. “But for songs that are more guitar-driven, those will take longer. I’m just in the place of figuring out what’s actionable first.”
With his clear sense of direction and refusal to hold back, Snugsworth’s next era promises to be as bold as ever. For now, But Now That All the People Are Dead, It’s a Good Town Again offers listeners a deeply personal glimpse into an artist who isn’t afraid to wrestle with darkness while still making space for love.
The EP arrives October 13. Until then:
