'Taking The Stairs Instead Of The Elevator' wraps itself around a heavily-delayed riff that seems to climb endlessly like one of those Escher stairways. The bass weaving itself around the guitar and the restrained drums.
The sound is layered carefully, building slowly and organically. However, when a queasy layer of sax comes in around the six-minute mark, it sends a chill of excitement down your spine as an unexpected new element comes into play. From here, the energy builds and there's some piano added into the soundscape.
The sax then starts to blow freely, hitting a Stooges 'Fun House' kind of vibe but only subtly as it's quite low in the mix. We then head into a breakdown where the elements are pared down to delayed guitar taps and some dialogue tape, winding to a fade rather than the explosive hit that might be expected from the genre. Restrained.
Very nice.
