Snapped Ankles are back! Their fourth studio album, ‘Hard Times Furious Dancing,’ is set to drop on March 28, 2025, via The Leaf Label. Along with this exciting announcement, the band has unveiled their latest single, Raoul, accompanied by a visually striking music video directed by Gil Anselmi. Watch the music video via YouTube below.


The return of Snapped Ankles couldn’t be more timely! The band has abandoned trying to make sense of the chaos. Even the forest can only shield them so much. Consuming a relentless stream of fractured stories, meme culture, viral sensations, and humanity’s darkest impulses takes its toll. Once again, the woodwose reflect the absurdity of modern life. Their only answer? Dance.

Mark your calendars: ‘Hard Times Furious Dancing’ arrives March 28th.

Dive into the surreal with the music video for Raoul—a buzzing, synth-driven exploration of geopolitics through the lens of unreliable narrators, accompanied by howling dogs and an electrifying energy.
