LISTEN: Comes and Goes
""Comes and Goes" showcases the group's ability to mix dance-inducing melodies with insightful lyricism in an age when we've grown accustomed to one or the other. Staying young is a common theme and expertly fitting when your act is usually cause for a party pit." - RCRD LBL
Upcoming Shows
June 18th Brooklyn, NY @ Death By Audio with Tony Castles, and super secret special guest
"We’re pretty hot. There’s really no way around it,” says Jamie Ayers, looking up from his astrology homework. As bandmates Sam Skarstad, Miles Debas, and Brian Indig tuck into a sizzling quail pilaf, the Snakes Say Hisss frontman reminisces over the group's origins on the upstate Karaoke circuit. According to Ayers, their legendary "lost album" Teeny Bikini and debut LP I'll Be Lovin' You were odes to young summers spent sitting around watching The Real World and dancing complex coordinates to other drones. Since those early days, the band has perfected a sound that combines synth pop and graham crackers in a raw contemporary honeycomb structure. “We like raw pollen and we like hard work, our queen is very proud,” chirps Ayers.
The group's new single, Right Behind You, has been four years in the making - a process complicated by Ayers' refusal to compromise his vision of recording songs exclusively in historic sand castles. "We wanted to create something specifically for teenage girls. There’s not enough out there for them these days”, says Skarstad, adjusting his cashmere scarf and platinum ski goggles. “The driving synths and heavy beats combine with the spastic live show to create some sort of new experience” Ayers continues, staring longingly at a platter of sea urchins, "but I probably shouldn't have told you that. We've all heard so much about the missing discourse of desire”, he gestures broadly with a flourish of his gaudily bejeweled prosthetic hand, “I think it literally boils down to the fact that everybody is insanely jealous of me.”
