Genius Annotation

“Someone Great” is written about the death of James Murphy’s therapist. It is one of the record’s soaring high points. A fluid exchange of downtrodden rhythm and glistening synths led by James Murphy’s warm monotonic croon, the track’s emotive, minimalist flickering builds to a saddening, accepting end.

The production is also sampled briefly, beginning at 9:17, on their Nike-commissioned exercise song “45:33”.
