Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunter (2025)
“Snipe Hunter” is Childers’s boldest and most genre-spanning project to date. Produced by Rick Rubin with contributions from Nick Sanborn, it’s a kaleidoscopic collection that fuses garage-rock energy, gospel choruses, psychedelic textures, and global spiritual influences. Opener “Eatin’ Big Time” kicks things off with raucous abandon, while haunting ballads like “Oneida” and fan-favorite “Nose on the Grindstone” ground the album in emotional sincerity. Tracks such as “Tirtha Yatra” and “Down Under” highlight his curiosity and humor—from exploring Hindu pilgrimage to joking about koala STDs. Critics broadly acclaim its fearless ambition and depth, calling it a career-defining moment for a storyteller unafraid to wander.
