Is this the heaviest that Poppy has ever sounded? Possibly. Will it be the heaviest in her history? Likely not. Following the industrial techno throb of Church Outfit, the new single from internet sensation turned heavy metal popstar Poppy pivots back to scream heavy doomcore territory.
A cover of a 90’s song by nu-metal band Kittie, Spit is significantly less clubby than its predecessor, making up for this in pure carnage. Even at a meager 02:30, the track still managed to sit somewhere between Aphex Twin and Cannibal Corpse, with Poppy leaning into the 90’s inspiration in unique ways. She shrieks against hard hitting heavy metal verses linked by racing and raging drum’n’bass phrases. Immediately more confrontational and in your face than Church Outfit, Spit shows that Poppy hasn’t softened a bit, and continues to surprise us just as we think we may have her figured out.
