This is, to my recollection, the very first The Pineapple Army song ever recorded. Technically it wasn't even a The Pineapple Army song when it was originally written and recorded. I was still using the moniker KcL at the time. I don't remember if I made the change in the middle of this album or after July when Alex and I began sort of making music together.

I did know, however, that this was something new for me. This was going to be a brand new approach to songwriting for me. Up to this point, I had primarily made songs up as I went when recording. Generally I would come up with a guitar riff and then pull out some lyrics I had already written and just forced them together. I wasn't going to do that anymore. I was going to sit down and take the time to craft songs to the best of my ability... while also trying to record one song a day for a project I thought was feasible.

My girlfriend at the time had recently introduced me to Radiohead. I mean, I knew who Radiohead was but I never bothered to listen to them. I wanted her to like me so I got into Radiohead. It wasn't that hard to do. I made the beat for Vampire Watermelon specifically trying to conjure the feeling of 15 Step from the album In Rainbows. This is the end result. I thought THIS sounded like Radiohead. A memory that will haunt me until I die is my friend Justin Roman telling me this sounded like The Postal Service, which is a huge compliment, and me telling him it's supposed to sound like Radiohead. I'm an asshole.
