Trivia/Info
- Premiered early on January 12, 2015 via The Gist podcast, though it was removed and replaced with "Madam, I Challenge You To A Duel" the following day. The proper premiere came on the January 26 episode, "Microsoft's Imperfect 10".[1]
- In November of 2014, the band posted a 4-second video[2] of Rob Moose playing violin for this song. Moose has also collaborated with artists such as Burt Bacharach, Jay-Z, and Sufjan Stevens.
- The music video for this song was directed by David Cowles, Jeremy Galante, and David Plunkert.[3]
- Linnell described the clarinet usage here as "really fun". He used his "Selmer rosewood contra alto with a gigantic bell" that he played "sitting down while it rests on its peg".[4] The melody played on the clarinet is similar to a sped-up version of the clarinet backing accompaniment in "Cloisonné".
