New York singer-songwriter and producer serpentwithfeet has announced a seven-track EP titled Sentinel, scheduled for December 4 through One Little Independent Records. The announcement introduces a new partnership with the independent label and arrives alongside the project's title track, a composition examining power, desire and the complicated social structures surrounding masculinity.
serpentwithfeet has spent years developing an unusual musical identity in which gospel-influenced vocals, intimate storytelling and experimental R&B production coexist without feeling particularly concerned about conventional genre boundaries. Sentinel appears determined to continue that exploration. The forthcoming collection includes "henchmen," "invocation," "his student," "of course daddy," a live chapel interpretation of the title track and "puckish" featuring TYGAPAW.
The announcement also introduces an interesting performance collaboration. serpentwithfeet has become the first featured artist on FERN, a new platform presenting musical performances in natural environments. A performance of Sentinel was filmed among the forests of Canada's Pacific Northwest, incorporating movement, environmental acoustics and the surrounding landscape into the presentation. It is an appropriate setting for an artist whose music frequently explores the relationship between physical experience and emotional expression.
While many contemporary musicians are experimenting with increasingly elaborate digital production, serpentwithfeet appears equally interested in discovering what happens when technology meets trees. The forthcoming EP promises another fascinating chapter in a catalogue that has never been especially interested in behaving predictably.
