“Snakes” is a haunting new single from Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Brinck. Merging R&B and soul with a psychedelic rock pull, the track captures the unsettling dissolution of a relationship within a nighttime aesthetic. Brinck utilizes moody guitars and vibrant keys while exploring the space between love and loss, questioning who two people become when they no longer recognize one another.

A delectably woozy combination of affecting guitars and soulful vocals opens the track, fondly reminiscent of TOPS in its late-night rock suaveness. A more expressive vocal demeanor takes hold as the first minute approaches its end, with layered emotion venturing between wordless enthusiasm and heart-on-sleeve lyricism. Glistening keys arrive with shimmering intrigue thereafter, melding with the riveting vocal entrancement and gliding into an impactful, jangly guitar presence.

“I gave up” vocal sentiments further an intoxicating, blissful sense as the twangy guitars and murky bass line combine, with the two-minute mark immersing with another series of trickling guitars and layered vocal sophistication — moving into the re-emergence of twinkling piano arpeggios. “Snakes” presents a wonderfully nocturnal soundscape, melding art-pop and indie-rock appeal in its array of bursting guitars, steady rhythms, and soulful vocal expansion. “Snakes” is certainly representative of Brinck’s knack for replay-inducing, nocturnal songcraft.
