Note

“Wanderers” is a single built around guitar and vocals. The track is based on a single chord progression from start to finish, and within that limited framework, the phrases and arrangements gradually change and develop. The track has a tape-flutter-like texture, and the hazy, layered vocals create a floating, shoegaze-like feel, similar to previous works. but the result is a more pop-oriented and well-balanced sound. Bouncy drums and light bass provide the foundation, while electric piano, E-bow, and looping guitar phrases appear throughout. It is also a track born from the almost hobby-like idea of seeing how many guitar phrases could be fitted into a single progression. The way the phrases layer and overlap is one of the key listening points of the song. The original idea for this track existed around 2009, and an early version even included the sound effect from “Sedmikrásky (Daisies)” (1966), a film by director Věra Chytilová. Looking back, the sound was much thinner and felt like a draft. After many years of development, it finally reached its current form and could see the light of day.
