'"Snakeskin"' is a song by Australian alternative rock band Gyroscope, from the album 'Breed Obsession'. It was released as the first single from the album on 27 October 2007, which peaked at No. 30 on the ARIA Singles Chart. "Snakeskin" was listed at No. 16 in national radio Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2007. The CD version of the EP contained two previously unreleased B-sides while the digital release from iTunes included a third unreleased B-side.
"Spending some time in hibernation whilst writing this album has made for some great progressions 'Snakeskin' is a great representation of our head space and expresses a lot of the emotions and directions we have taken in the creation of our 3rd record. Like a snake shedding its well worn skin, these are the days of our lives." Daniel Sanders
The "Snakeskin" video was shot in Wiltshire, near Stonehenge, south of London. The video has the band playing in the middle of a 200-metre crop circle that was made specifically for the shoot. It is the same farm where the Led Zeppelin crop circle was made that features on the cover of the group's 'Remasters' compilation album.[http://www.heraldsunhit.com.au/product/snakeskin_1598820_157875.html Herald Sun music review]
