Cantrips returns with psychedelic folk piece titled 'Snake Skin'. Recorded with a 7-piece band over two days, this track features members from Surprise Chef, Don Glori, Karate Boogaloo, and more.

Centered around the nylon guitar and voice of Patrick Ryan (Cantrips), this track draws inspiration from late 60s/early 70s acts like Nick Drake, Terry Callier, and Donovan. The track incorporates string arrangements reminiscent of Frank Sinatra's "Watertown" and late 60s psychedelic pop. This unique sound was crafted by two keyboardists emulating a string quartet with synthesizers, complemented by drums, percussion, double bass, and pedal steel guitar.

The lyricism delves into themes of isolation and transformation, as well as reliance upon interpersonal relationships, painted upon a backdrop of imagery influenced by the natural beauty of the Darebin Parklands surrounding the Dune Castle studio in Melbourne.
