This is one of the most hypnotizing songs I’ve ever heard. I return to it time and time again whenever I feel constrained creatively by all the compromises of the world. It proves to me the potential of simplicity. Made of extremely familiar parts yet the novel combination sounds unlike anything before it. I also felt like it had just enough of that nautical feel at the heart of the previous track, as well as being gloriously and pretentiously arty (in line with where our little train has explored). It also brings us around to the “back to basics” feel from the first spoon track in the string.
