The song marked a drastic departure from the band's hard rock and psychedelic rock song, as the song embraced a more electronic dance music sound. Critically, the song was panned.

Style

Unlike much of Wolfmother's previous work which has been described as neo-psychedelia, stoner rock, and hard rock, "High on My Own Supply" showcases an electronic-oriented sound. Josh Martin of, NME described it as an EDM-inspired track. [1] Jason Heffler of EDM.com compared the song to MGMT, calling it a future bass song. [2]

David Durán, of Mexican entertainment website Frecuencia Indigo, compared the track to the Chainsmokers, saying that Stockdale "explores a totally revamped sound in which synths and a more futuristic rhythmic base are imposed". [3]

Critical reception

Describing the overall fan reaction, Josh Martin of NME said the track's reaction "across social media from longtime fans of the band's nostalgic rock sound has been markedly negative". [1]

Experimental pop is pop music that cannot be categorized within traditional musical boundaries or which attempts to push elements of existing popular forms into new areas. It may incorporate experimental techniques such as musique concrète, aleatoric music, or eclecticism into pop contexts. Often, the compositional process involves the use of electronic production effects to manipulate sounds and arrangements, and the composer may draw the listener's attention specifically with both timbre and tonality, though not always simultaneously.
