Baby Snakes & The Electric Co.

BIOGRAPHY

Baby Snakes & The Electric Co. is rock ‘n’ roll as an act of will.

It’s the sound of refusing to be reduced – by circumstance, by expectation, by the shape your life takes after everything changes – and reaching instead for music that’s raw, honest, and undeniably alive.

At the center of it all is Jeff Saenz, a Dallas musician, producer, studio owner, community-builder, husband, and father long known to friends as “Baby Snakes.” With Ouroboros, his debut album under the Baby Snakes & The Electric Co. name, Saenz brings his own story to the foreground after years spent helping others tell theirs – turning love, family, fracture, repair, and forward motion into a vehicle for resilience.

From coming up in punk bands to apprenticing under producer Dave Cobb, Saenz has already lived several musical lives. In Dallas, he built Modern Electric Sound Recorders into far more than a studio: A home base, meeting ground, and creative engine for a North Texas scene that included artists like Leon Bridges, Paul Cauthen, Quaker City Night Hawks, and the Texas Gentlemen. “I’ve always loved being a conduit,” Saenz says. For years, he poured that energy into other artists; with Ouroboros, he brings it home.

The roots of that story reach back to June 1, 2021, when Saenz walked into his own yard and was struck by nearly 8,000 volts of electricity. By all accounts, he was not supposed to survive. In the aftermath, he lost his left hand and right arm, endured a long recovery, and found himself facing a question no lifelong musician ever wants to ask: What happens when the life you built through your hands has to find another way forward? Written and recorded one song at a time over the course of a year, Ouroboros is Saenz’s answer: A raw, anthemic, deeply honest alternative rock record that refuses to stop at survival.

“It’s the overarching theme of finding the strength within yourself to celebrate what you love about yourself,” Saenz says, “and to just keep going forward and not let anything stop you from being the exact you that you want to be.”

With Ouroboros, Baby Snakes & The Electric Co. turn that belief into something loud, lived-in, and lasting – rock ‘n’ roll as an act of will, and a reminder that even after everything changes, your story isn’t finished.
