Seeking seclusion after his breakup with Rachel Goswell, Neil Halstead left on a two-week trip to a Welsh cottage, where he recorded this song.
"It hadn’t been long since i and Rachel split up, so i was kinda miserable about that, and i was miserable to be in this little cottage in the middle of nowhere.“, – he says. "It was about being miserable. A lot of Slowdive’s stuff was about atmospheres, and so possibly in a sort of slightly teenagy way it was about creating cinematic moments. So i guess lyrics would try to look into it. It’s like when you watch a film it could remind you of really sweet moments and you kinda look into that as a feeling, and i think sometimes that sort of stuff carry over into songs."
— Neil, in Pitchfork’s Classic Slowdive episode
"The drums are very loose, it kinda bounced a bit more, it skipped and then it’s kind of a new thing to the Slowdive’s sound. It gave Neil, Rachel, and Christian more freedom to sort of play with a sound in a new way."
— Simon Scott, Slowdive drummer
"We were looking for a more sparkly and in some ways poppier feel to certain aspects of it, we didn`t want to make an entire pop record, but we wanted to have more light and shade, and more sort of feel to it."
— Christian Savill, Slowdive guitarist
