XLR8R Magazine piece on “Ends”
”The record pushes forward the vibrant worlds of his debut album, Retronyms, and expands into new frontiers of sound. The intention was to simply make the “most listenable experimental music possible,”’

SnakeFoot - ‘Retronyms’
All songs composed, recorded, and mixed by Ross Travis
Released on ‘Dome of Doom’ Records : August, 2018
Cassette + Digital
Through out the summer of 2017 I produced this full length album for Los Angeles record label “Dome of Doom” under my production/DJ moniker “SnakeFoot”. The album is full of live instrumentation, Wurlitzer, drums kit, saxophone, guitar, and voice, while digital elements of drum programing and analog synths are equally present.
’Vinyl Me, Please review’ of “Retronyms” by Gary Suarez
”Hip-hop is here and also not here, all part of SnakeFoot’s elusiveness as he glides and grifts through these nine often mind-altering cuts. He shows off a knack for old school and new, affixing vinyl scratches to a Metro Boomin type beat for Slug Christ to spit over on “Howl” and later clatters away into ambient bliss on “Inna Zone.””
Mestizo and The Heavy Twelves - ‘Big Bad Death’
Released on ‘Fake Four’ Records : August, 2018
Vinyl + Digital
As one half of “The Heavy Twelves” I contributed live drum tracks for the album.
”The esteemed underground rapper Mestizo has teamed up with The Heavy Twelves, a Los Angeles based electro-psych-beat duo formed by Egadz, for this extremely rare, limited picture disc vinyl & digital release entitled 'Big Bad Death.'
At the helm of Big Bad Death's production, The Heavy Twelves include a wide array of synthesized sounds and prominent percussion with intricately recorded drum patterns. They obsess over pushing and pulling, and turning and tuning knobs until each and every sound conforms to the aesthetic. The music is full of heavy synth bass, catchy melodies, and interesting noise, but always sounds like a train that could run off the tracks at any second...and in certain ways, it always does.”
