On the track, Drummond explains: “I wrote ‘Bullet’ at a time where I was really being forced to let go and face myself. My co-producer, James Seymour, suggested we record it live – just me and a guitar. I don’t think the song would be the same if we hadn’t done this.

“Since we were in the midst of a lockdown, the additional instrumentation was recorded by players at home. Zac Barter (double bass and strings), Joe Orton (pedal steel guitar) and Olaf Scott (piano) recorded their ideas in isolation and sent them to us. It all came together quite beautifully in the end.”

Drummond’s upcoming Congratulations EP is a collection of masterfully succinct songs, using intelligently crafted melodic twists and chord progressions to reflect and channel the pain and anger Drummond felt during a period of her life… albeit delivered, in part, in an approachable and tongue in cheek manner.

Delivered with an acid tongue, the song is reflective of the state of mind Drummond found herself in at the time, where life seemed to be playing out in slow motion. The hazy, nonchalant production style employed by Drummond is mournfully intentional on a song where strikingly honest lyrics float above a track that feels both hypnotic and powerful.

Speaking about the song in more detail Drummond said, “Like the rest of the EP, this song is personal. Writing it was just therapy for myself. As cliché as it sounds, I needed to channel my pain and anger into something that felt intense, but also tongue in cheek. Similarly with my first song ‘Crisis’, I had completely surrendered to how bad I felt and I just put it all into my writing. My favorite lyric from this song is “I don’t care”, because I really reached a point where I just didn’t care anymore”.
