"Life, Death and Everything in Between" is the Danish, screamer-songwriter quartet Stöj Snak's sophomore album. 12 tracks of heartfelt, folky troubadour-punk infused with plenty of raw energy and melodic catchiness.
Released four years after the debut, this album completes the transition from one-man-band to four-piece. The songs still revolve around singer/songwriter Niels Højgaard Sørensen's raspy yet melodic voice but are clearly built to be performed by a band - full of instrumental finesse and ripe with washboards, double-bass and other trash instruments (counting members from Mighty Midgets, Columbian Neckties, Batolit, and the record collective 5Feetunder Records).
The album sees the band pushing its folk-punk sound up a notch, blending in almost thrash-sounding riffs and plenty of screaming while still maintaining a catchy, melodic edge in the songwriting on the more action-packed songs such as "Trees" and "Fire". But the album also ventures in a more experimental and tender direction on the piano-driven "Songs About Beliefs" and the closing 11-minute title track.
