About Tyler Childers
Snipe Hunter cements Tyler Childers’ status as an American original: a songwriter with a strong grasp of Appalachian tradition, a storyteller alive to the hard-bitten humor and absurdity of country life, and a singer who
jumps from a feral growl to an intimate croon in less time that it takes him to reload.
Produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and mixed by Shawn Everett, Childers further establishes himself as “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable
artists” (Associated Press) with Snipe Hunter, as he puts forth a collection of thirteen genre-blending songs that showcases the signature artistry he’s cultivated throughout his esteemed career, while continuing to push his own
creative boundaries.
Featuring the fan-favorite standout “Nose On The Grindstone” - released as a studio recording for the first time after being a setlist staple in his electric live shows - and several brand-new releases, including the album’s psychedelic
rock opener “Eatin’ Big Time” and “Bitin’ List,” which quickly made waves online with its playful, frenzied productions and relatable-yet-razor-sharp lyricism, Snipe Hunter sees Childers take his catalog and fold it into itself, reminding listeners why he remains “one of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone).
As Marissa Moss in GQ comments, “Snipe Hunter is both an experimental country-rock ride into the future and like something passed through the ages and across time zones, equally at home on a radio in Appalachia or a dive bar in
New York City. So take your country music and play it with the rugged fury of a garage band, or even bring in a synth or two. Go to India to explore the Hare Krishna. Make something timeless in a world obsessed with change. Pray to whatever God you feel like at the time. Bring Black Lives Matter to the holler. Normalize a queer love story. What makes Childers one of the most important country artists of his generation is that he won’t conform or compromise, and every step of his career is about building a song, or a life, that both respects tradition but seeks expansion, not exclusion.”
