It appeared as a double A-side with "Joy.Discovery.Invention", and was released on CD and 7".

Overview

[edit]

Simon Neil has commented on the song, saying:

This was the first song that was written for The Vertigo of Bliss. We've got lots of back-and-forth vocals and has got a crazy break-down section. It's almost quintessential Biffy, I guess.[2]

Track 3 on the vinyl release is a new version of a song that originally appeared on Iname.

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
