The track was based on a beat from a Pinback song and recorded in the same session as “Me and My 424”. Vanderslice had been obsessing over Grandaddy’s Signal to Snow Ratio and Through a Frosty Plate Glass EPs and decided to approximate their tones.
All hail the swelling sun
As acid seeps and autumn bleeds
And the glowing has just begun
Every winter time is kindly now
The ground is sprouting out
I got my shirt off and my face up against
The ground
And I found the key
Underneath the leaves
I was complete
All hail the swelling sun
Nikki, I'm coming down I'm coming down
On everyone
I shut my eyes and I see patterns of things:
Grids of baby toys and flying drones
Unspeakable fiends
And I found the key
Underneath the leaves
I was set free
And I found the key
Underneath the leaves
I was complete
