About this song

The song uses cut-up vocal samples of Jake Duzsik of the band HEALTH, taken from HEALTH's song "Crimewave". Kath manipulated the original sample heavily, chopping up words and rearranging the pieces into new ones without recording new vocals. As a result, the lyrics differ from the HEALTH version, and Crystal Castles have never released original lyrics for the song.
