"'I once had sex in the woods with a stranger I just met,' my dad revealed to me about a month before he passed, totally unprovoked, a breathing tube in his nose, gaunt and hairless from radiation therapy. Maybe he had been keeping this small, unremarkable story to himself for decades, and out of desperation or perhaps as a way of tying up the loose ends of life as one does, saw the right moment to tell someone before the story slid into the crematorium with his body. He didn’t go into any details (thankfully), but I nonetheless wrote this song to honor his non-sequitur.

I built the song around a kaiju-sized bass line, inspired by Tune-Yards’ Nate Brenner’s bass tone. To my surprise and delight, I befriended Nate a couple years after I wrote it, and he ended up playing the bass part on the final version." ~ Hamilton Ulmer | Makeunder
