shut up and listen

• very different ac gtr sound – low quality, boxy
• ac gtr doubled
• no drums or other instruments
• vox, falsetto doubled, hard panned – very clear in contrast to gtrs
• first line descends into full voice
• chorus; some gtr melody
• structure: chord holds between vox lines in the verse, builds expectation
  ‘This my excavation and to – [hold] day is Kumran’
  ‘I keep throwing it down two [hold] hundred at a time’
• structure: verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, verse 3
  stops just as expected 3rd chorus should come
• long after track ambience – gtr knocking, footsteps, beep

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. structure: chord holds between vox lines in the verse, builds expectation
   ‘This my excavation and to – [hold] day is Kumran’
   ‘I keep throwing it down two [hold] hundred at a time’
2. structure: verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, verse 3
   stops just as expected 3rd chorus should come

• muted strum 4 count
• all in; ac gtr, bass drums, horns, elc gtr lines soaring/bending
• vox enters, horns drop out
• horns come in to reinforce start of some vox lines
• bvs – falsetto/full voice double, hard panned. response; ‘running on, running on’
• inst break – ac gtr, horns and elc gtr – static noise
• then drums, bass, horn solo join
• ends with chorus chords, no lyrics, wordless vox

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. horns and monophonic elc gtr lines etc. providing chordal harmony
2. bvs – falsetto/full voice double, hard panned. response; ‘running on, running on’

• long ending: holding chord, bass line solo, snr/kik on beat, distorted elc gtr, bvs, whistling doubled
• snr doubled loosely; phasing? delayed to drift in and out of time?

KEY IDEAS to plunder

• chorus: ‘So many foreign worlds
  So relatively fucked
  So ready for us
  So ready for us’
  bass, ac gtr, snr on beat and harmonised falsetto vox
• ends suddenly – sort of – remainder is labelled a new track
  next track continues performances, and harmonic content

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. begin with vox harmonies, wordless, verbed
2. ends suddenly – sort of – remainder is labelled a new track
   next track continues performances, and harmonic content

• keys or vox or sustained gtr chords cut in & backwards notes
• ac gtr strums (2 strings) on beat, with kik

• call & response: ‘for me now’
• ends with loops of backwards notes and plinky gtr

KEY IDEAS to plunder

2. middle: ‘would you really rush out’
   strum/beat stops
   call & response: ‘for me now’
