Maybe you’re right is a smoldering, churning, escalating ode to running away from your problems. The track balances ecstasy and catastrophe, with Kirini’s deadpan lyrics and deceptively sweet vocals anchored by Steadman’s idiosyncratic analog percussion. Maybe you’re right is the second single off of Kritters’ upcoming EP, It’s a Trap, which ruminates on self-imposed isolation: fitting material for the lockdown conditions under which it was written in spring 2020. It’s a Trap is about the constraints we accept in order to survive: the useful lies we tell, the faltering friendships we tend, and the many ways in which we opt to shrink our lives simply because the world is a lot less scary if you make it really, really small. Written about her post-university life in the small city of Oxford, U.K., songwriter and lead vocalist Kirini O.K.’s songs grapple with the private torment of maintaining the pretense of happiness, and how threats lurk in all corners when one's happiness is fragile: even blue skies might be a trap. In the claustrophobic world of It’s a Trap, escape is hard to contemplate and even harder to achieve; to survive here is to dwell in escapist fantasies, to drive without destination and assiduously avoid. Kirini's art and writing background shapes the band’s aesthetic, both sonic and visual. Rob's engineering and production style borrows techniques learned from his years in recording studios watching producers like George Shilling (Yazz, Primal Scream) and Gill Norton (Patti Smith, Pixies, Foo Fighters).

Kritters work out of their home studio in the Bronx, with just a Shure SM57 and 58, a set of CAD drum mics, a Tascam US16x08 interface, and a Mac running Logic. For Maybe you’re right, Steadman recorded analog sounds of household objects, the full list of which includes: paper rip, paper squash, Aldi tote bag squash, book page flips, match strikes, lighter strikes, shaker, tambourine, a mug tapped with a metal spoon, and stick clicks.
