Regarding the collaboration with Baker, Lauber said: “JB gave me the idea to do this cover and SOAK, who is a friend of ours and we’ve played shows together. and Quinn Christoffelon as guest features on this song. However, we realized that we all live on opposite sides of the country (JB lives in LA). (I’m in Nashville, QC is in Alaska, and SOAK is in the UK), so we ended up producing this song completely remote, post office style, exchanging ideas via email. JB sent me a draft of the song and a rough arrangement and asked me to make it the way I wanted it, with drums, guitars, synths, and pretty much everything in the studio. It’s a pretty dense track, and I think we both wanted it to feel dynamic and big at the same time. It was pretty inspired, this time it was like Interpol.”
Yaeji said the following about “Pink Ponies.” “When I first heard the demo and lyrics that Teddy sent me, as I was packing my bags to return to the United States after a short stay in Korea with my family, I burst into tears.” It’s not often that you’re invited into a space like this where you can let your artistry and intentions really sing. What Teddy had in place was a beautiful invitation that allowed my soul to flow as it was intended. An artist’s role is to tell the truth, and this song and project is an example of the power of music and collective artistry. ”
Geiger added: “Pink Ponies was born from a small harp improvisation and a melody/title from my friend Danny Parker. From there, a few words and phrases started drifting away. One of them was It was about what it means to be a pearl at the bottom. At the time, I was spending a lot of time with a new friend whose name meant “pearl.” A friend of mine passed away while I was working on the song, and I worked on it with sadness until the first two verses were completed. Yaeji wrote the last poem. The first time I heard her sing, I cried tender tears of happiness. I’m so happy to be able to collaborate on something so meaningful together. It was an honor to be asked to contribute to the album and be part of the story. transa”
