Wrapped in a fever dream of a beat, Atomic Baby’s Opium remix is a riveting and raucous piece of experimental electronic music that takes you down a rabbit hole of the absurd and otherworldly. Filled with industrial and metallic vocals that feel imminent and haunting alongside a backing ‘I don’t know what to say’ that just reverbs at the backdrop of the arrangement, it’s a scintillating if slightly unnerving piece that captivates you while leaving you slightly bewildered and perplexed. There’s an underlying madness to the record, an unwinding of emotions and ideas that Atomic Baby captures so well through their dark and dreary industrial futuristic soundscape that’s quite endemically their own.
Frenzied and intriguing.
