The original version of HAIM's "Let Me Go" is a high-strung track that builds relentless tension from the very beginning with a driving tempo, and then just keeps it there, all the way through its four-minute runtime. It's effective as a rock song, but listening to it is vaguely stressful, and that's not necessarily what you'd call "easy listening." Ancient Mermaids' rework of the track reigns in the pace a bit, inserting a slower beat that helps vent out some of the pressure trapped in the original. And with this more relaxed approach to the composition, the remix suffices as a definite crowd-pleaser, providing a good alternative for those feeling more like winding down than winding up.
