Fresh Snow are a Canadian instrumental post-rock band from Toronto, Ontario.[1] They are most noted for their 2013 album I, which was a longlisted nominee for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize.[2]

Formed in 2010, the band consists of guitarist and keyboardist Tim Condon, bassist and keyboardist Andy Lloyd, guitarist Brad Davis and drummer Jon Maki.[3] They first united to play a show at Duffy's Tavern in Toronto; the following year they released their first recording, a 7" split single with METZ.[3] Strongly influenced by krautrock,[4] the band took their name from Neu!'s song "Neuschnee 78".
