"This was my first foray into using real instrument samples to form a song. I went with a kind of funky, spooky lounge track for this one. I took inspiration from old-school horror and film noir to give the mysterious kind of feel and knew I really wanted to incorporate an upright bass in it as well. I was listening to a lot of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Frank Zappa and Medeski, Martin and Wood when writing this track."
"First it was a kind of island song, with the steel drums and the other exotic instruments, but I started taking another direction when I added one of the xylophone sounds and it sounded like it was right from a mystery film. Inside the spookhouse, you’ll find the Nethervator! An elevator that goes to straight to hell!"
