Brandon Hagen (singer-guitarist): “I Need You” is the centerpiece of the record. I think
the band and I knew that the song was special. We really needed to nail the way we played
it together to get the feel just right and create the slow build the song needed. We rehearsed it for months and then captured it as a live take. It felt very important to have this song on this record and in my life as it feels like a compassionate moment amongst a pretty gnarled batch of tunes. It is an homage to my dad, the interconnectedness of experience and the traverse of life and death.”
TUTV: I Need You is a feverish 6 and 1/2 minute psych jam that zigzags like a hungry snake looking for an easy prey. At first there’s a foreplay calmness, but midway you can feel the storm coming. Gradually the mood turns into a an upheaval of sizzling perfervidness. Amps up, temperature up, impetus up. Mind-blowing shit.
