Key quotes
· 2 pulledThere's so much happening in this nifty little song: that clattering auxiliary percussion; those eerie/charming wordless superhero-theme-song vocals; the elegant cello that gives way to propulsive bass; the half-rapped lyrics boasting about 'new muscles all over my back.'
It's somehow whispery and minimal yet huge and direct.
