Josiah Wise, known professionally as <en>Serpentwithfeet</en>, is an experimental musician based in Brooklyn, New York. He gained recognition with the release of his EP "blisters" in 2016 and went on to debut his studio album "soil" in 2018. With a unique blend of soulful vocals and avant-garde production, Serpentwithfeet has carved out a distinct sound that pushes the boundaries of contemporary R&B.

Influenced by artists such as Kelsey Lu, Yves Tumor, and FKA twigs, Serpentwithfeet's music explores themes of love, spirituality, and identity. His captivating performances often feature intricate vocal harmonies and theatrical elements that create an immersive experience for audiences.

With critical acclaim and a growing fanbase, Serpentwithfeet continues to push the boundaries of genre conventions while maintaining an authentic and emotive approach to his artistry. His music resonates with listeners who appreciate innovative soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics.

Multi-tracked voice plays against gently-plucked harp and syncopated handclaps, the record's gospel affectations and slinky R&amp;B tropes fusing into something unique, exotic, and strangely beautiful. Meanwhile, surrounded by strings, subtle electronics and Wise's restrained piano playing the EP's first single, 'flickering,' is the perfect showcase for Wise's powerhouse voice. "I'm starting to feel the cord connecting us two is made of gossamer," he sings. "I'm starting to feel there's no cord between us two / are we made of gossamer?" The track unspools with a kind of hushed intimacy, the tone and tenor of Wise's voice rising and falling like a breath until the song itself crests and flutters before disappearing completely.
