Great Plains II: "We discarded several tracks that were written early in the sessions. They had some interesting internal architecture but didn't quite hang together. In keeping with the modular or atomic approach taken towards the album as a whole, we cannibalised the discards for spare parts. This track is built from some of them. That's why it seems to start in medias res, and end in similarly ambiguous fashion."

Elsewhere: "One long rejected track yielded some of Great Plains II and some of Elsewhere, which is why the keys conveniently match up. This was a tricky one to sing and a tricky one to mix. There were a good 20 or 30 draft mixes before it started to cohere. Some of the 'ambient' percussion is an old mantel clock with the weight removed so that it ticked faster and more erratically."

August: "Some spurious time signatures smuggled into what is otherwise a fairly guileless dream-pop song. Too Many Organs was engineer Pete Meighan's working title for it."
