Cut Snake originates from the Gold Coast of Australia, where both surfed from a young age.
They got involved in dance music while they were touring world surf contests, and quickly grew passionate about the underground scenes from each country they visited. Mixmag described their music as "deep tech tunes at odds with their sun-soaked backgrounds" stating that they "have become famed for their massive personalities and infectious live shows."
Their debut EP, Life's a Beach, reached #5 on the iTunes Dance chart in Australia and it was played on Pete Tong's radio show BBC Radio 1 Essential Selection, along with support from Thomas Jack, Claude Von Stroke, Nic Fanciulli, and many others. In 2016 they released their Magic EP, which was described by Billboard as an "infectious tech house cut" On 7 May 2016 they played a live show in front of 20,000 people at the LA Convention Center. It was the venue's first live music event.
In March 2018, Fisher began releasing music under his own alias. In June, Sedley said that Fisher's recent music releases "went huge so fast that it was going to be too hard for him to juggle both projects. It made more sense for him to focus on himself."

Cut Snake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel your weight upon my bones
The past is silent but its still ringing
Just like an empty dark home
So say something I forgot to say
And i'll regret it every single day
I never thought that the promises we made
Would evaporate
And wonder why we let go
I feel your heart beat tonight

The above lyrics are from Cut Snake's song "Echo," a nostalgic, introspective track about the weight of past relationships and the regret that can come with words left unsaid. The opening line, "I try to listen but my world's spinning," is a powerful metaphor for the overwhelming feeling of confusion and uncertainty that can come with a tangle of emotions. The weight of the past is palpable in the second line, with the singer bearing the burden of a past love on their very bones.
The following line, "The past is silent but it's still ringing," is a poignant statement about the persistence of memory even long after a relationship has ended. The comparison to an empty dark home is equally effective, conjuring up an image of a lonely, abandoned place devoid of warmth or light. The chorus is a plea for resolution, a desire to say the things that were left unsaid and make amends for past mistakes. The final lines, "Do you see the starlight when the sun goes down, and wonder why we let go? I feel your heart beat tonight," suggest that despite the sadness and regret, this past love still holds power and meaning for the singer.

I try to listen but my world's spinning
Although I try to pay attention, my thoughts and surroundings are overwhelming me.
I feel your weight upon my bones
Your presence is heavy on me and affects me physically, even if you're not physically present.
The past is silent but its still ringing
Although the past is not present, it still has an impact on me and continues to affect me.
Just like an empty dark home
The past is like a home that is empty and dark, devoid of warmth and light.
So say something I forgot to say
Please speak the words that I failed to express earlier and give me closure.
And i'll regret it every single day
If you don't speak what's on your mind, I will continue to feel remorse and wish I had said something.
I never thought that the promises we made
I never expected the commitments we made to each other to disappear.
Would evaporate
But unfortunately, they disappeared suddenly and without warning, like water vaporizing into the air.
Do you see the starlight when the sun goes down
Do you take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the night sky, even when the day is done?
And wonder why we let go
And think about why we couldn't hold onto what we had, or what went wrong.
I feel your heart beat tonight
Even in this moment, I feel a connection to you, as if I can sense your heartbeat.
