I Can't Stop Listening to Tomorrow's Parties
This is my favorite song on this album, probably. Much like Venus in Furs, there's a lot of Indian music influence here. The lead guitar is very clearly trying to sound like a sitar and there's a piano underneath of it. Just repetitively pounding to create a drone-like feel without actually being a sitar drone. It's just a completely enchanting song. And if you ever wanted to know the value of an arrangement that Peele slowly and C-box said I have, it comes with a bonus disc that features numerous demos of this song where it basically sounds like a country song but doesn't work at all. They absolutely hit it out of the park.
