Exploding Bushes & Airplane Screams boasts a formidable solid of collaborators together with Waxahatchee, Kevin Morby, and Wednesday — the latter of whom are famous DBT followers. “A Werewolf And A Woman,” in the meantime, is a duet with Lydia Loveless. Of the album and the tune, Hood says:
You keep in mind it a method, however once you actually dip into it, once you actually look again, the world was a unique place. Issues have been accepted that wouldn’t be accepted now and stuff you didn’t perceive then make sense now. This document has all these form of unintended themes. I don’t know if that was something I got down to do as a lot because it simply form of labored out that manner. You understand, there are loads a number of blissful accidents on this document.
“A Werewolf And A Woman” was written in August of 2021, round 40 years after I fell for my highschool sweetheart. The tune juxtaposed our falling in love and our breakup a yr later. As soon as I minimize the demo, I knew I needed a lady to sing the choruses from the lady’s standpoint. And in my head, it was at all times going to be Lydia. I imply, I didn’t actually actually have a second alternative. The subject material’s form of provocative, so I wouldn’t have needed to ask any person that I didn’t really feel was a buddy. I wouldn’t need somebody to be uncomfortable after which simply not wish to discuss to me anymore. What I didn’t depend on was that after I requested Lydia if she can be all in favour of doing it, she really occurred to be within the studio and did it the following day. And that’s what’s on the document.
