St. Vincent released ‘Daddy’s Home’, her sixth album, in May, and “Pay Your Way in Pain” became the first single from that record.
Now, the UK band IDLES take on that track has been released.
Heavy bass replaces most of St. Vincent’s instrumental in the IDLES remix, as electronic beats pulse.
“What I really enjoy about the Daddy’s Home album is using this camp energy in a really violent way. 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.”
-IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen
