Description
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu, which contains basic album info.
A "spooktronic" song, as described by NME, it talks about victims of domestic abuse during lockdowns.[3] Speaking about this song in an interview for Premier Guitar, Matt said "I grew up on things like Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, or Jimi Hendrix. Those are the two guitarists that I probably loved the most. And the element that they brought into guitar playing was, obviously amazing guitar playing, but also an element of chaos, an element of being slightly out of control. Sometimes When you edit it out, you end up losing a little bit of that chaos feeling. That’s something that we’ve been trying to balance a little bit. It’s difficult because it’s so tempting to try to tighten everything. There was a bit of that on certain tracks. Something like ‘You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween,’ for example, is much more on the tighter side.".
In the Classic Rock Magazine, Mark Beaumont descibred You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween as a "church organ-led tech-rocker", while Alt Note Magazine labeled the song as being electro-experimental.[4]
