If you thought Inception had more layers than one could count, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

In this episode of Listen In, Naytronix’ Nate Brenner breaks down the multitude of sounds on the dreamy title track of his new album, Mr. Divine, from the plethora of polyrhythmic percussion to the punchy bass hook and the weird wash of wind that ties it all together.

Listen in as Nate explains how the song changed after its… inception, the advice he got from his bandmate in tUnE-yArDs, Merrill Garbus, and why “Mr. Divine” was never supposed to be on the album at all.

For more on Naytronix, see the artist’s website.
