Chicago’s tastemaking station WXRT recently posted the original album version of the song for download, noting a sound “that mixes experimental instrumentals with pop vocals,” and the windy city’s Chicagoist website weighed in with its own take on the track, stating that Stahley’s vocals “cut through the walls of sound and hit you in the face like a knife that's so cold it burns…”
TKTTSM’s does indeed balance the weight of O’Mahony’s instrumentation with Stahley’s skewed pop vocals for a perfect representation of this band’s love of exploration, animals, exercise, and freedom, and their dislike of cops, politicians, financial institutions and any other power hungry villains.
