‘Replica Gun’ sits somewhere between French pop and indietronica. Bright, brass-like synths give the track its playful pop sheen, while Larsen’s free-flowing verses mirror the feeling of thoughts tumbling out faster than they can be processed. There’s even a wonderfully strange moment where everything briefly seems to slip into slow motion before snapping back into place.

Rather than becoming outright danceable, ‘Replica Gun’ settles into an infectious little bop, with an earworm of a chorus placing some of its darkest imagery inside its brightest melodies. That contrast makes Hellebaby’s introduction particularly compelling: serious without becoming solemn, catchy without disguising the discomfort underneath.
