I wouldn't have thought of it, but you're absolutely right that sounds like surf guitar music, and hearing that adds to my enjoyment of the song.

There's no way they weren't going for a Duane Eddie style there. At least the instrumental portion. I'm glad it could add to the enjoyment!

Stay tuned for next album when I declare Spy to be the perfect High School Football Band anthem.

I will wait with baited breath. . .

I also remembered a song that connects to (moderate) childhood trauma. I definitely remember crying about the death of Robin Hood and that emotion transferred to this song: https://earnestnessisunderrated.substack.com/p/the-death-of-robin-hood

Does that specific song make you think of that for any reason beside the album releasing on September 11? Or is that the only reason?
