Snippet Upper Laser return in spring 2026 with their concept EP “Chronicles Left Behind“: four seamlessly connected instrumental pieces that take listeners on a journey through five and a half years of global and personal turmoil.
The EP follows a clear narrative arc — from curious experimentation to the first cracks in dreams, to pain, anger, and the search for a new perspective. The big bang is followed by emptiness — but also hope for a clear fresh start.
Snippet Upper Laser combine atmospheric synth cascades, searching guitar motifs, powerful riffs, and epic melodies into a musical journey as a soundtrack for all those who feel that music is both a mirror and a fountain of youth.
The EP’s artwork reinforces this idea: a clay figure gazing into the unknown, symbolized by a frosted glass cube.
“Chronicles Left Behind” is a reflection on the past and a determined new embarkment.
