The redux, on which Cecil Otter also handles production duties, takes on a more somber tone that Pip’s original, opting for ambient guitars and keyboard rolls rather than gritty bass lines and heavy drums. For their verse, Metermaids trade bars back and forth for maximum effect, as they weave a mix of dark lyrics with lines like, “Save the strong, drown the rest/ Mama’s got to make sure these mouths are fed/ When papa comes through, he’s gonna pound some heads.”
