“Snake Mistakes” (From the album Spiderman of the Rings)

This is a very good album. It’s all trippy and shit. It’s electronic, but it’s hardly dancy even though it’s certainly not ambient or glitch or idm or anything like that. It’s more like some playful, experimental pop music that uses a computer for most of its instrumentation. Think of it as the Beach Boys on crack, only without the Beach Boys.

As far as I can tell from the lyrics, the song is first a guy saying he keeps making “snake mistakes” and then wishing some bees will leave him alone. Then there’s a computer voice chant about how the computer voice’s dad is the coolest dad there is.
