This is the opening track of To Be Kind, Swans thirteenth studio album. Four of the songs, including this one, feature backing vocals by St. Vincent. Frontman Michael Gira witnessed the New York singer-songwriter's industriousness when she visited Dallas in the fall of 2013 to provide guest vocals for the record. "I think she sang for about six hours straight at one point, take after take, probably 20 tracks of various notes," he recalled to NME. "And aside from taking a drink of tea occasionally, she stayed constantly able to sing and was perfect."
