Neighborhood #2 (Laïka) / My Buddy

Utilizing the tragic story of the Soviet space dog as a metaphor for an older sibling's destructive rebellion and departure, the track is driven by frantic accordion lines and furious, scraped guitar strings. The composition's chaotic, theatrical energy epitomizes the band's ability to fuse dense chamber orchestration with raw post-punk intensity. It served as a vital, emotionally overwhelming chapter in the acclaimed 'Funeral' narrative.
