Snake Orange Cake plays with textures, fragments and emotions on debut EP, Lucid

Snake Orange Cake's debut EP, Lucid, it out now.

Snake Orange Cake is the musical alias of Åland-raised, Berlin-based artist Julia Carlsson, whose work sits somewhere between intuition and experimentation. Her sound doesn’t follow rigid paths, as Carlsson prefers instead to play with textures, fragments and emotions.

Her debut EP, Lucid, brings together a series of five singles she wrote, recorded and produced over the past year. The project reflects a time of creative openness and exploration, where ideas were allowed to flow freely. Blending organic elements with synths, the project moves between spoken word, song and experimental electronics with an easy sense of fluidity. There’s a playful energy running through it, balanced by moments of quiet vulnerability that surface along the way. Released alongside the previously shared singles “Vision”, “Animals“, “Stitch,” and “Hair“, the final piece of the puzzle is the title track, “Lucid”. It captures the EP’s spirit perfectly, drifting between softness and subtle tension ans wraps everything in a warm yet slightly otherworldly atmosphere.
