Emma Hunter dropped a track so cinematic David Lynch would need a moment to sit down. “Snake” is dark flamenco noir that slithered into the room, coiled around the speakers, and whispered a love story from 1950s Mexico that nobody survives.

BISQUIET: the publication that reviews your music and leaves a candle burning in every room it walks through.

“Snake” is the final single from the album Yolanda, and it sounds like a last page that already knows you won’t close the book. The story of Yolanda and Danny — desire, dependency, inevitability, a woman begging a man to choose her with such force the vocals physically shake under the weight. The harmonies pile up like evidence in a case nobody wins. It’s 1950s Mexico through a fog machine and a broken heart, and somehow none of that is a gimmick.

Five unanswered prayers out of five — Yolanda was never getting a happy ending, and the bassline knew it from the first bar.
