In one of SnowApple's YouTube videos, the all-girl Amsterdam folk trio walks around Texas, gawking at cowboy boots, riding around on tractors and plucking an assortment of old-timey stringed instruments. They seem like aliens in a strange new land. The music they're playing should fit right in with the American South-some good honest Appalachian folk tunes. But in their hands, such familiar music changes. SnowApple plays joyous, simple folk songs for sure, but they also have a downright surreal quality: There are moments where the songs sound less Americana and morph into sweeping, calculated 1940s Hollywood film scores.
