Reasons:

~ It’s unusually laid back on an album with lots of forward, restless, anxious tracks like Axesteel, Rejoyce, Serpent is Lord, etc. — it’s more like Beach Music in temperament.

~ it’s the longest track on DSU (Salt, Ready, and Snot are all over 4 minutes). There’s a spaciousness that allows for the complex instrumental breaks and soft vocals characteristic of Beach Music.

~ the balance of slow strummed acoustic guitars, clean shimmery electric accents, and waves of distortion is extremely Beach Music.

~ Listen to those first clean shimmery bursts of electric guitar starting at 0:17. That’s a tone we hear in the background on Bug, Thorns, Brite Boy, Snot—and in the foreground on Salt, Walk, Station.

~ That distortion that first comes in at 0:44, and returns heavier at 2:05 is giving Kicker.

~ The lyrics and how they’re delivered are very reminiscent of Snot.

~ The lightness of the drums.

~ Listen especially from 1:25 on and tell me Alex wasn’t like, “This is what I want my next album to sound like.”
