𝗔𝗨𝗔’s Fabian Bremer said of the song:
“The 𝗚𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗡𝗘 series has been with us for three albums now, and it continues to intensify with each release. 𝗚𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗡𝗘, 𝗣𝗧.𝟯 pushes the energy to its most intense point yet. It’s a continuation, but also a peak of sorts—intense, pulsating, and pushing the edge of control.”

AUA is Fabian Bremer and Henrik Eichmann. An eclectic mix of explosive krautrock-driven beats, Carpenter-esque arpeggios, and surf guitar sounds, all embedded within the darker version of a ’60s lo-fi pop record. The band’s stoically delivered vocals emphasize that the reference to Leonard Cohen’s penultimate record is certainly no coincidence. “PAINKILLER NO.1”, masterfully caps off the duo’s album trilogy with a complex yet remarkably catchy blend of krautrock-driven beats, lo-fi guitars, gritty electronics, and fragile singing—all carried by the weightless melancholy that has characterised their releases to date.
