The band wrote the album’s closing track, “Thick Skull,” a marked sonic departure from After Laughter, on day one. “It had these shades of a few different eras of us being music fans, loving heavy, drone-y, almost shoegaze-y moments,” says Williams, also citing York’s clashing guitar patterns, Farro’s thunderous bursts of drumming and even her own rare piano playing on the song. “I was like, ‘Man, this sounds like a band I would love.’ ”
i do hope there's at least one moment on the album where a guitar sounds like a mouth opening e.g. "future"

Fat Mike [of NOFX] used to tell people that I gave good rim jobs onstage when I was 19 years old.
Ugh. Fuck that clown.
“It’s kind of like people see us like [The] Princess Diaries,” Farro explains. “They didn’t see the beauty, but we threw off the glasses.”
Take us to film school, Zac.

many XP but wrt the heavy/drone-y quote I’ve wished for years they’d do something in the vein of “you were holding an umbrella” by Boris.

i was thinking more "all i wanted" but with the vocals tearing it along with the noise. but "future" is pretty much in that direction.
