This song is about escapism. I kept telling Bryce (our producer) it had to sound like you were sitting in an old gigantic church. There is something amazing about these spaces; they have a heavy presence that feels like a blanket thrown over yourself you can’t shake off. In the end it took three days to do the lead guitars. I experimented with running the guitar through expensive modelling pedals like the Eventide Space, then screwing up the sound with a volume pedal and ZVEX fuzz factory. We just kept layering heavy swells and sustained notes, then one day we sat back and listened to the track and Bryce and I agreed we wouldn’t touch it again. It had organically grown into something you couldn’t possibly plan or sketch out. It’s become one of my personal favourites Violent Soho has ever recorded.
