Artist commentary:

Dylan S.:

A couple years before I wrote this, I tried to write some little fantasy island theme with a million tempo changes. It sounded like ass and I never tried to do something like it again until this track. The land is a bunch of clock towers with different temporal bubbles around them (step in here time goes slower, step in here time speeds up), so it would have been the lamest thing in the world not to commit to that. I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out. The sound palette ended up as the exact not-quite-steampunk, train station-y vibe I wanted, the clocks are doing their thing in the background, and the tempo changes have more thought put into them than the aforementioned thing that sucked. I just imagined I was a little guy jumping around all those floating islands in the thumbnail getting all up in their different time bubbles, getting into their rhythms, working with them rather than struggling against them. Think it put me in the right mindset.
