We are honestly impressed by how good ‘Snakes’ is. Moving with purpose and charisma, the record oscillates between dream-pop and indie, with hints of retro psychedelia exhuding through the various guitar tones. Crowning it all, we find Brinck’s luscious, evocative vocals, capturing the listener’s attention from the first lyric. In a way, ‘Snakes’ could be described as a functional blend of Lana Del Rey’s hypnotic flair and Tame Impala’s eclectic, vibrant arrangements, all then mangled in a very personal way; the Brinck way.
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Brinck has made a name for herself thanks to her songwrtiting expertise. A recognised lyricist in the industry, the talented songstress has been pursuing music since a young age, and is now fully blooming into the star she was always meant to be. ‘Snakes’ marks her first release in almost a year, signalling a triumphant return and start of a pivotal new year for the project.
From a lyrical standpoint, ‘Snakes’ takes a hard look at the unravelling of a romantic relationship, doing so with surprising restraint. Shying away from any dramatic statement or emotional toxicity, the record instead assumes an observing attitude, recognising the slow shift in attitude between two lovers. As we are told, the track “traces the inner dialogue of someone trying to make sense of a strange emotional distance. Lines that reference ‘snakes in her eyes’ and the inability to see a partner clearly evoke the confusion and fear that accompany a relationship’s collapse.”
