• Joe Clay: "An instant classic and the most playful track on the album, featuring a juddering slo-mo beat, a bouncy, pinging bass line and warm chords with the occasional flourish of classical strings. It sounds a bit like Aphex Twin's 'Cow Cud Is A Twin' or something else from the album, I Care Because You Do. It almost has a standard vocal, albeit one generated by a radio tuned into a station playing the chorus of a totally different song." ^[1]
• Not sure if anyone else has noted this, but "Palace Posy" is an anagram of "Apocalypse". ^[2]
