The title of the song comes from an opening move in chess.
The song and lyrics were written by Kevin. Sean eventually wrote lyrics for the 3rd verse.
The night sounds on the intro came from a sound bit Matt recorded with his iPhone in his backyard.
We used the same night sounds on the outro of the track "Mystery".
There is no chorus in this song. Instead of repeating any parts, the song is separated into a few movements.
This song was influenced by "DonDante" by My Morning Jacket. We were challenging ourselves to be minimalists for the first half of the song.
The outro is a 5 minute jam where we kept it exactly how we recorded it in the studio. We didn't adjust levels or cut any parts to give it a raw, live feeling. Kevin was using a loop station during the recording to layer different riffs as the song was progressing.
