Songfacts®:

• This is the first single to be taken from Scottish alternative rock trio Biffy Clyro's fifth studio album Only Revolutions. The song's press release described it as "a distinctively heavy and angular rock race of a song, with stunning unexpected time changes, huge riffs and a gigantic chorus." The band themselves described the song as a mixture of prog and stoner rock, citing that "[it's] like Kyuss and Tool playing with some Scottish freaks screaming over the top of it."
• The song received its first radio play on July 8th 2009, on BBC Radio 1 in Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World slot.
• English graphic designer Storm Thorgerson did the artwork for the single. His résumé includes work for Pink Floyd, and his design for Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most iconic album covers of all time. Thorgerson's artwork for this single with a missing jigsaw piece resting in front of a sailor references Biffy Clyro's previous album Puzzle.
