Just as she takes up space in the male-dominated Baltimore/Washington metropolitan area punk scene, SNEAKS aka Eva Moolchan takes up space among the patriarchy.

Highway Hypnosis, her forthcoming January release off of Merge records, combines bewitching beats and invented words with classic SNEAKS identifiers including "stripped down hip-hop, skeletal post-punk, and extra-dimensional pop music" Clash Mag.

Through the album, Moolchan is filling a gap between the feminist underground and genre-specific singles charts while joining the resistance forged by queer black feminists who create, explore, empower, conquer, and play bass.

Among laughter samples, charming vocals, and displays of responsibility featured on the album which was recorded at Silent Barn in 2017 lies one club banger, your little sister's anti-meat school lunch protest song, a 55-second epic bass surprise, and a Jacknife Lee production credit.

Flashes of Robyn, Britney Spears, Jock Jams, Nirvana, recess hour on the blacktop, M.I.A., Lil Mama, a hacky sack circle, Aaliyah and your first Warped Tour experience somehow all make sense inside the mind attached to ears experiencing.

Highway Hypnosis. The best part? Inclusivity is at the heart of SNEAKS, and all are welcome to her galaxy - but only the woke will find the wormhole.
