Composition
editThe title of the song refers to gaslighting.[3] The song has been described as an "empowering",[4] "fiery",[1] and "scathing" anthem.[5]
Critical reception
editPitchfork awarded "Gaslighter" their "Best New Track" distinction, with Sam Sodomsky writing that it "merges the open-road optimism of their early records with the sharper power-pop" of their previous album many years earlier, Taking the Long Way.[6]
Music video
editThe song's music video was directed by Seanne Farmer,[1] and has been described as "a throwback to old school political propaganda".[7]
