The second single from Dopamine Chamber, after Marianne, and the strangest thing on it so far: Carlos O’Connell ran Grian Chatten’s voice through a sampler until it turned alien, Conor Deegan III slowed the tape under his bassline the way Prince used to, and screeching guitars, eerie piano and strings close in around it. The band first played it live in Brooklyn; John Angus Stewart filmed them in New York, riding the roof of a bus across a bridge at night, faces blurred in blue light.
