SNKT is the stage name of Stockholm-based artist Jack O’Connor, but while his alias comes from a Swedish word for ‘saint’, O’Connor is far from anointed as he unpacks sins across his upcoming debut No Saints.
Born and raised in Ireland, O’Connor began writing and producing music in university, pulling from his country’s gift for storytelling with a coming-of-age soundtracked by Robyn, Kate Bush, and The Knife. Taking from his experiences discovering his queer identity along with the rush of an Irish college experience, SNKT inherently began as a project born out of club pop adoration met with searingly candid confessionals.
Today we are thrilled to premiere the new track “Almost Always” – streaming below! What SNKT achieves is essentially a masterclass in writing a pop song. “Almost Always” is reminiscent of the first time hearing someone like Troye Sivan, Lauv, or Years & Years and you instantly know they’ve “got it.” SNKT hits you the same way. We’re excited to share this one!
In his own words:
“I started to write and produce this song in May 2020, during the height of the pandemic. The song is about being in this demi-relationship, where you know you’re both so good for each other, but it would never work out in reality.”
