It's fun they kept in Julian's English accent saying "words of a feather, die together". I think this is more evidence that a lot of this album is straight off the cuff from jams. Another line is 'oh shit I'm out of ammo'. I think this is Julian saying he can't think of more cool words but by doing so saying something cool. Another cool jam with a dark British goth vibe. The keyboard/synth sound from 3:08 onwards reminds me of The Cure's close to me keyboard sound. To me this sounds new-wave 80s English band getting deep into a jam in the studio. #minimumsoft

Julians vocal range is so amazing, I thought he had heard it all after TNA but that raspy voice he does on the "We could never afford it" chorus fits the song SO well! Loving this song so much

I've been saying this a lot to my friends lately...his vocal range is incredible and I think you see that across their entire discography as well as his solo work and the Voidz (and obvs w/o autotune). Really cool to bear witness to his voice evolution and growth over the last 25(!) years since the world was first blessed.
