A re-recorded, new, single version of the song "Beach Life-in-Death", previously seen on Car Seat Headrest’s 2011 album "Twin Fantasy". Production by Will Toledo, recording and mixing by Adam Stilson, mastered by Jason Ward.
In the vinyl edition’s lyric sheet this song is subtitled (a cursed song).
From Will’s interview with Peyton Thomas:
"The first time around, the main sources were probably “The Past is a Grotesque Animal” by of Montreal, and then the sort of longer meandering work that Destroyer did on “Looters' Follies”. It was all sort of united under a shitty lo-fi aesthetic.
I think I was mainly excited by the idea of something like Destroyer, making these long poetic songs with different sections. I got kind of burnt out on that after a while, and I guess so did Bejar.
I’d wanted NYI to be , and I wanted to announce it in December, but matador wanted to wait. we had a video locked in for NYI, so I asked if we could release BLID without any press.
I think it’s as good a barometer as anything – if you don’t like the production on BLID, you’re probably not going to like the album.
the Ivy verse happened because I knew I’d have to rewrite that verse. I couldn’t sell the original lines – I wasn’t in the right place – and I liked the original content I’d come up with for covering Ivy. It seemed appropriate."
