“Twist the Key to a Brand New Start”: Baby Snakes & The Electric Co. Hit the Gas on Their Debut Single “Dark Horse,” a Cinematic Ode to Electric, Enduring Love
Thanks to Atwood Magazine for doing such a thoughtful first piece on Baby Snakes & The Electric Co.
“By the end, ‘Dark Horse’ feels like so much more than a debut single.
And beyond its story, “Dark Horse” simply sounds incredible. Saenz knows how to make a room bloom around a vocal, and every choice here serves the feeling: The guitars flash and open up at just the right moments, the rhythm section gives the song its restless pulse, and the melody keeps widening until the final chorus feels almost communal. It’s polished, but never sterile; huge, but still human. You can hear a lifetime of playing, producing, listening, and loving rock ‘n’ roll in the way “Dark Horse” carries itself – with craft in its bones and fire in its lungs.” – Atwood Magazine
