This started as a synthy scribble but was handed over to Klaust for our first session together. Guitarist Todd had no audio in his headphones for this one - my first session engineering a full band and I wasn't at my tech best! - yet he nailed it blind! The piano breakdown is the same used for "In Memoriam," and was originally recorded same day I came up with the "Klaust" sketch. I've become quite the recycler, no? Finally, Tilly's vocals... wow!

Anton Barbeau plays "pre-apocalyptic psychedelic pop." He's a Taurus, born in Sacramento and now living by a canal in Berlin. He's made something like 30 albums and has worked with members of XTC, The Soft Boys, the Bevis Frond, Cake, the Loud Family, Elf Power and
the Corner Laughers. Julian Cope got him stoned in Croydon once. His new album, Manbird, ain't bad at all.
