"Straddle" is in the same languorous style as "drinking artist," with a slow snare gently accompanying the single guitar. Prodhumme enters with a more pronounced whine to exclaim that "it comes with it/much more than you know/beyond sarcasm/how much do you know?" A little anxious to be taken seriously? Definitely...
