04. Tonneau — O Father, O Mother

Tonneau are an Amsterdam trio — Ton van Dijk (vocals, guitar, piano), Jan van der Hoeven (bass), and Alies van der Hoeven (violin). They've been playing together for over 20 years. O Father, O Mother is their most biographical piece to date: broken piano, chilly violin, art-rock leaning toward post-rock. It's about parenthood — the wonderful and exhausting weight of it. A shift to "o mother" vocal harmonising takes hold around the midpoint before electronic-touched vocals carry the track out.

Placement: Closes the opening segment. The upward shift in tempo from Ghosts On TV (85 BPM) to Tonneau (124 BPM) gives the segment a gentle lift before Segment 2 kicks into gear with Ecca Vandal.
