“Snowman Family” is the fourth single from “Kings of Mediocrity”, the upcoming album by Pudding Jackson & the Meantone Coalition, set for release this fall. This poignant track takes listeners on a journey through a man’s attempt to escape the emotionally barren tundra of his childhood. The song’s tone is both beautiful and sombre, creating a reflective atmosphere.
Musically, “Snowman Family” is underscored by an evocative piano riff reminiscent of Elton John, with the addition of lap-steel guitar weaving delicately through the melody. Tasteful guitar work complements the emotive vocal performance, making the song’s lyrical storytelling all the more sincere.
Pudding Jackson & the Meantone Coalition is the passion project of Jim Para-Cremer, a talented songwriter and musician from the Midwestern United States. Drawing from influences like David Bowie, Steely Dan, and Warren Zevon, Jim brings his multi-instrumentalist skills to the band, playing rhythm and lead guitar, bass, and providing the primary vocals.
The forthcoming “Kings of Mediocrity” album blends a variety of genres, including Americana, jazz, prog rock, and indie folk. Each track is unified by its rich storytelling, ensuring that listeners are drawn into the world Jim has created through his music.
