Debut Single ‘DARK HORSE’ out July 9th via Spaceflight Records 

On July 9th, Baby Snakes & the Electric Co. release their debut single, "Dark Horse". Originally written as a last-minute melody hummed into lead singer/song writer Jeff Saenz, aka Baby Snakes, phone from the shower before the session that day, what was once an off-the- cuff thought transformed into an uplifting rock anthem about endurance, hope, and resilience. Written and recorded front to back in just two days, it adheres as much as possible to the live-in-studio ethos, only adding a dash of tambourine and some harmonies to round it out, giving that classic rock 'n' roll sound an arena rock energy. 

LISTEN: "DARK HORSE" 

"This song is about hitting the gas through tragedy, because sometimes the only way out is through," adds Saenz. "Built from the fire you find yourself in after the smoke clears, it’s the moment you look your person in the eye and decide: are we in this together? The answer is an emphatic yes. Take that love and move forward; a clearing always awaits." 

He notes the song's simplicity in construction. "As would become the trend," he adds, "we wrote it on day one, tracked it on day two, and hit the overdubs on day three. Aside from maybe some tambourines and harmonies, that’s what you’re hearing when you listen to 'Dark Horse.'"
