The new track was co-written his Big Thief bandmate Adrianne Lenker. Mat Davidson contributes backup vocals. The song also comes along with a music video, which was shot an edited by Riley Engemoen.

"I was making my escape, when the siren's song caught me a mile up the road,” Buck said of the track (via press release). “My nose started bleeding by the second note, so I lit a candle to keep moving. I may have died and woke in heaven's motel, with a telephone seashell at the bedside. It rang in waves and waves spoke, and waves heard through me."
