Catdraggon has released “Devious Serpent,” her second single of 2026 and one of the more creatively charged workplace revenge anthems you will hear this year. Following “Call My Soul Back,” the new track blends glam psych rock with neo-cumbia, layered vocals, and earworm guitar riffs that move at an energetic, relentless pace. Retro 60s textures sit alongside modern psych rock instincts, drawing comparisons to Tame Impala while remaining entirely her own.
The song targets toxic workplace culture with precision, calling out backstabbing coworkers, performatively supportive bosses, and the burnout that comes from grinding through systems designed to wear you down. The inspiration was painfully direct. While working in the corporate world, Catdraggon’s appendix ruptured while she was still trying to push through a work call with her boss. That moment became the seed of the song.
Rather than staying quiet about it, she turned the experience into something loud and pointed. “Devious Serpent” zeroes in on the smiling assassin, the coworker who lies, cheats, and climbs by tearing others down. The message is clear without ever losing the playfulness that makes the track so effective as a piece of music.
Alongside the release, Catdraggon introduces a series of stylized characters based on classic TV villains, each representing a different type of toxic workplace archetype. “Devious Serpent” is streaming everywhere now.
