A new track from Dutch act Pocket Knife Army, “Dancing Like a Cobra” meshes autumnal, contemplative verses with a moving electro-pop hook, resulting in a replay-inducing success fit for the spooky season. A sly vocal tonal feeling and bass-fronted intrigue into the “lips so dangerously red,” vocal haunts provide a darkly atmospheric allure. The “dancing like a cobra,” hook excels with a danceable synth-friendly enamoring.
The “trapped in our old skin,” bridge soars with an especially compelling shift, emphasizing the project’s eclectic range. Daisy Rae’s confident lyrical outpouring combines with the stylish synth-pop production throughout. Per the project, the track is “about hiding your loneliness and anxiety behind an alter ego who is outgoing and sexy.”
