Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Uncanny meadows of wobbly post-funk... sinks in like a fine sofa. Jer turns on the gas post-verse 1 and the whole thing kaleidoscopes into a new selflessness!!! Marvelous patient roaring long gem.
