- ALT1: ... that Tapir! often wear red papier-mâché heads while performing, representing the character of "The Pilgrim"? Source: DIY Magazine interview
- ALT2: ... that Tapir!'s album The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain contains three acts, each opening with narration by Kyle Field? Source: "Each of the three acts, the first two of which dropped as separate EPs last year, open with a brief spoken introduction from Kyle Field of Californian act Little Wings"
- ALT3: ... that the climax of Tapir!'s song "Gymnopédie" has been described as sounding "like it's performed teetering on the edge of a cliff"? Source: "Creating a lush waltz time backing track to house lyrical visions of a dysfunctional heaven, at the climax of the track, the whole thing opens out into a glorious lo-fi symphony that sounds like it’s performed teetering on the edge of a cliff"

- Comment: Lots of great options for hooks here.
Created by Suntooooth (talk). Self-nominated at 19:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tapir!; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
QPQ good, article new at time of nom, long enough. Well written and sourced. Not sure some of the song details necessarily belong in "style", but no objections really."
All the hook facts check out and are cited in-line, though alt2 might be pushing it a bit, with Field being featured on the opening tracks not necessarily "opening" them. No issues with the other three, let a promoter choose. Kingsif (talk) 17:27, 8 March 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for the review! I disagree on ALT2 (I think the source describing Field as opening the acts would probably be good enough for the hook), but it's probably my least favourite of the hooks anyway - ALT1 and ALT3 are my favourites. Out of curiosity, what would you suggest for the song details section? I've been thinking of renaming the section, but I don't know what to.

- Honestly, some of the details would be better suited to being included in "composition" and "reception" sections of articles about the songs/a detailed article about the album, I don't think there's a generic section you could make for them at the artist article unless it was just "Songs".
