Ham Sandwich (song)

On February 20, 2019, the song was self-released as a digital download on international digital stores, as well as being released through various music streaming services.[2][3] The song was released partially as a response to fans who were displeased with Getter's album Visceral, released in late 2018.[4] It was also released shortly before the launch of his Visceral Tour, based on his album of the same name.[5]

"Ham Sandwich" was well received by most critics. Farrell Sweeney of Dancing Astronaut categorised it as an experimental trap song, writing that it combined "wobbly, wonky synth layers with a steady drumbeat for a syrupy, downtempo drip that has all the makings of a menacing bass cut, but rather opts for a more laid back disposition."[4] Your EDM's Matthew Meadow praised the song heavily, comparing it to Getter's album Visceral and stating that while the songs found on the album were a mix of various genres of electronic music, "Ham Sandwich" is "unmistakably trap, through and through", as well as noting the song's artwork as "traumatising."[6] Writing for EDMTunes, Ariel Thompson wrote that Getter had incorporated "destructive sounds for a filthy rattling trap sensation", further describing the song as a "glitchy trap banger that includes eerie synths and suspenseful build ups."[5] Selbe Dittman of EDM Sauce noted it as a "deep and heavy trap track", generally describing it as "nothing we've heard from the artist before, and it's left us wanting more."[7]
