Narrator

The band began writing it in Margate and invited Martha Skye Murphy to join, and she began singing over it right away. Judge told Stereogum he was reading Anna Kavan's Ice, the first book he had read where the narrator is incredibly unreliable, and then a friend recommended the film A Long Day's Journey into Night; it was his first time co-writing lyrics, in Skype sessions with Murphy before lockdown, and Murphy suggested the narrator be a woman. Of her recording he said: then she just started screaming like I've never heard anyone scream before. Pearson said the song was always played long, and they wanted a thing where you think you've reached the most intense point and you haven't. The band's press statement says it follows a man losing the distinction between memory, dream and reality, and how people reshape memories of others to flatter their ego, with Murphy playing the woman wanting to break free of the story he controls.

Released on Warp on January 27, 2021, it was recorded at Mr. Dan's Studio in 2020 with Dan Carey; the full version runs 8:29 (8:28 on the album) and there is a 4:31 edit. Felix Geen directed the video, set in a broken 3D-rendered space; Stereogum spells his surname Green. NME's Will Richards called the album a razor-sharp odyssey and heard criss-crossing guitar lines recalling early Foals, ending with Murphy screaming, and Line of Best Fit's Alice Jenner set Judge's bold delivery against Murphy's softer singing.
