“Pardon Me” — the first signal transmission from Vexillary’s forthcoming album Digital Suspiria — reconfigures the iconic Incubus track through a cold-fusion lens of dystopian techno pop.
Stripped down to its emotional core and rebuilt as a sleek, mechanized anthem, the cover pushes past nostalgia into bold reinvention. Featuring Baylee’s soaring, soulbaring vocals, this version is equal parts synthetic and heartbreaking — as if the song were being transmitted through an alien machine trying to decode human sorrow. Pardon Me” unpacks the emotional source code of the original and injects it with new data — icy textures, steel tension, and cybernetic polish.
It also marks a sonic evolution for Vexillary: his first track to incorporate guitar textures, threading a raw, organic edge into his otherwise industrial-techno foundation. The result is something at once intimate and futuristic, melodic yet mechanized.
It’s not just a cover — it’s a signal flare for the dawn of Vexillary’s next chapter.
