"Snow Globes" is the fourth single from Black Country, New Road’s second album "Ants From Up There", released on February 4, 2022.
It was written before the release of their debut album “For the first time”, along with "Basketball Shoes "and "Haldern".
‘The powerful closing one-two of “Snow Globes” and “Basketball Shoes” sees the band shift between delicacy and enormity, finding them at their most potent and arresting, as well as joyous and triumphant. This sense of ecstatic joy, exuberance and euphoria the band are tapping into can be heard throughout, and is also reflected in Wood’s move away from the spoken word into a singing voice that carefully swings between quiet restraint and stirring zest.’

Lewis Evans:
"This is another tune where we really thought about what we wanted from it before we wrote it. We had examples of things we liked, and one of them was Frank Ocean’s “White Ferrari”. We liked the idea of it almost being like two different bands at the same time. So you’ve got this quite simple but quite heart-wrenching, fugal-sounding arrangement of all the instruments with a drum solo that is just crazy and doesn’t really relate too much to what is going on in the other instruments. We react to the drum solo, but he doesn’t react to us. It’s that kind of idea."
