Composition

edit

AllMusic called the song the "album centerpiece" of Person Pitch, describing it as "a 12-minute collage of chiming guitar arpeggios, stony vocal harmonies, hooting owls, and phasing loops that fade in and out of each other."[2] Pitchfork Media wrote that "from sighing multi-tracked vocals to jewel-box loops to caramelized guitar riffs, each layer adds hypnotic depth to a song whose gorgeousness seems dangerously excessive from the start."[1]
