Title: Snake charmer
Style: Psych-Pop, Dream Pop
Year: 2026
Moon Construction Kit’s new single, “Snake Charmer,” is a vivid, home‑recorded portrait of addiction’s push‑and‑pull. Olivier Cornu weaves a lush 60s‑era psych‑pop soundscape that feels like a dimly lit fairground at night, a backdrop that recalls the tender melancholy of Elliott Smith, the wry lyricism of Father John Misty, and the cinematic flair of Jon Brion. The track’s warm synths, gently swirling guitars, and breezy drums create a rich, nostalgic texture while the introspective lyrics guide the listener through self‑examination and a fragile sense of hope.
Recorded entirely in Cornu’s home, the song feels intimate yet fully formed, showcasing his command of alternative pop, indie‑rock, and cinematic tones. “Snake Charmer” is both a beautiful listen and a powerful statement of Moon Construction Kit’s musical depth.
