Utilizes an acoustic guitar intro before transitioning into a synthesized, krautrock-inspired electronic beat. The track's bleak, ethereal atmosphere is propelled by Beth Gibbons' haunting vocal performance. It stands as a centerpiece of the band's critically acclaimed return from a decade-long hiatus.
