Reviews
Andrew Nock in the digital music and lifestyle magazine, Music Feeds, describes the song as being "dark and brooding" yet drawing "similarity to techno legends Underworld (band), Underworld". He goes onto praise it for "its disregard of stereotypical dance music conventions" and that it "deceiving the listner in that it never reaches the peak that it promises to delive, but rather drives the song to a monstrous climax." David Young in Sputnik Music states that it "is a cauldron-bubble of inner-city paranoia, whirring synthesizer and a pulsing beat that grows more claustrophobic and agitated until roughly the last ninety seconds or so, in which the track more or less explodes into technicolour." Sound Alliance, Mess+Noise's Andrew Fletcher considers the song as brooding and undulating with an impeccable "sense of timing and structure". Whilst Craig Mathieson in Sound Alliance, FasterLouder states "Hamilton's stentorian voice is present from the opening jangled nerves excursion into minimalist techno, but the more variety he brings to his vocal delivery the greater the contrast with the tracks where he’s still barking out every exclamation.Music video
The six-minute music video was directed by New York-based visual artist Yoshi Sodeoka. The video is straight pixelated chaos, with images of riots, fights and cheerleading competitions seen through the lens of a broken first-generation PlayStation (console), PlayStation.Track listing
