The Snake Queens Have Arrived
HVIRESS invoke electro-witchcore magick on “I Am The Snake Queen”
"Do you know who I am?" ask HVIRESS on the venom-laced lead single from their forthcoming debut — but it's not a question, it's an inquisition. The duo's dark, driving, and bacchanal new deathpop song “I Am The Snake Queen” explores the seductive chaos of overconsumption, fast fashion, and the glittering debris of late-stage capitalism, through a lens of ancient magic and feminine power. Propulsive and expertly crafted, the song is both sinister and self-assured.
Once described as "Joan Jett meets Alastair Crowley," HVIRESS is the occult, musical love child of Brighton, UK-based Hana Piranha and Mishkin Fitzgerald of Crimson Veil and Birdeatsbaby. Global sounds, glitchy percussion, snakelike synths, and grim piano stabs sit atop a goth-tinged hyperpop dembow beat, as the pair share vocal duties throughout. Both infectious and light-hearted, “I Am The Snake Queen” is a dance on the ruins of disposable culture where the snake queen is both destroyer and divine, shedding the skin of shame and making a kingdom from the landfill of human desire.

“Hana and I came up with the concept for ‘I Am The Snake Queen’ after a fateful night on some psychedelic mushrooms that went slightly wrong. Hana was transformed into an ancient deity and after coming out of the darkness she became the snake queen. After that experience we both thought it was too good not to write a song about. We have always seen HVIRESS as a project for mixing ancient magick with modern trash. ‘I Am The Snake Queen’ blends those two worlds seamlessly.” - Mishkin Fitzgerald

Tulip Tiger - Da Meanz of Production
Recalling the rebellious and uninhibited electronica from the turn of the century, with massive breaks, fat bass synth, and freewheeling samples, Da Meanz of Production hits like a backhand of déjà vu from 1998.
