Album review
St. Vincent has enlisted IDLES for a remix of ‘Pay Your Way in Pain’, the opening track of her latest album Daddy’s Home. Give it a listen below.
“What I really enjoy about the Daddy’s Home album is using this camp energy in a really violent way,” IDLES’ Mark Bowen said in a statement. “This embracing of the nostalgic even the kitsch but using it to make progressive futuristic music. It reminded me a lot of the energy of early house and techno but wrapped up in this early ’70s aesthetic. I wanted to ramp up the camp and the violence in the remix but still maintain the sentiments and sensibilities of the original track.”
Earlier this year, IDLES released their most recent album, CRAWLER. St. Vincent’s Daddy’s Home is up for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
