Trivia/Info
- John Flansburgh on the song's production in 2025[1]:
"Hall Of Heads" is very much an experiment turned into a song — and like "Spider" and "The Guitar", it's a long walk into the MIDI cave that seemed so boundless at the time. Working with materials that seemed entirely new at the time was such a thrill, and even though I still enjoy working electronically and getting super granular with those sounds, I don't know if anyone can really get fully back to that moment. It is so married to that era…
- At 2:27, Flansburgh can be heard whispering "Alan". This is a shout-out to Alan Winstanley, who mixed the song.[2]
- According to Mr. Flansburgh, the Mono Puff song "Guitar Was The Case" was partially inspired by this song, melodically.
