Snakepiss is a Detroit, MI electronic musician and producer. Breeding grounds for found noise, creeping beats and imaginary horror soundtracks, Snakepiss' music is constructed late at night, on bargain bin headphones. Arson features downtuned choral voices, four-on-the-floor rhythms and ambient soundscapes dragged through dirty alleyways. Frantic energy bubbles over on lead single "Set Fire To The Living," while "King" and "Wind/Water" return to Snakepiss' signature sound of dark ambient creep hop. Arson is both a reaction and a rejection to the emotional palette from Snakepiss' Toil. Arson is about taking your feelings you've confined and swallowed - the miserable dread of wandering - and burning it to the fucking ground. Arson grabs Toil and says, "These are not my limitations. I reject this way of life." "TOIL is like Angelo Badalamenti with a sampler and drum machine." - Decoder Magazine For Fans Of: Burial, Raime, Angelo Badalamenti, J Dilla credits
