Annotation

Songwriter Will Sheff on why the Australian/Japanese releases are different: "I remember being a high school kid and getting really excited when a Japanese import version of a record surfaced in a store, so for this record I decided it would be fun to do import versions, making the Japanese and Australian versions of the record have different art and different tracklistings. ‘Mermaid’ is on the Australian version, which also has a darker and more severe look to the artwork.".
