reminds me of Karl saying he tried to get "Jumbo" cut from BF. though obviously he likes it now
tbh UW have always had some odd opinions regarding their own work, which is certainly not an uncommon thing, but it does explain why the "finish and release everything" kick they've been on this year has been so fruitful. as great as "Swing up High" is you get the sense it's only two-thirds done.

I loved Jumbo from the jump. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard that bass and drum kick in. My eyes went totally anime.

The bass... I’ve learned to like it. It tweaked me the wrong way for ages because it always felt odd. Fat but not heavy, like something only kind of stuck in your throat.
But also I was at an age where Karl’s lyrics/delivery in it were just... too embarrassing. I couldn’t play this to my friends! “Iiiiiuuhn, need sugarrr” fucking... no! Eeaugh!
But being 14 is like that.
