Serpentskirt is an evocative and enigmatic artist from the United States whose work traverses the haunting borderlands of dream and reality. Drawing inspiration from gothic subcultures, shadowy folklore, and the visceral textures of emotion, Serpentskirt’s music and visual art blend ethereal soundscapes with intricately layered imagery to conjure worlds both fragile and formidable. Emerging in the late 2010s, Serpentskirt has cultivated a passionate underground following with their genre-defying releases, weaving in elements of darkwave, shoegaze, and experimental electronics.
Each creation is a meditation on vulnerability and transformation, often exploring themes of identity, nostalgia, and the sacredness of the unseen. Aligning themselves with the DIY ethos, Serpentskirt produces all aspects of their art, from meticulous self-produced tracks to the visually arresting covers and installations that accompany their releases. Through a hypnotic aesthetic that favors lush reverb, ghostly vocals, and fractured beats, Serpentskirt invites listeners to lose themselves in a labyrinthine inner world, blurring the line between catharsis and mystery.
