As with many songs by this band, the highlights to me are in the vocals and the guitar. Here, particularly “Your color, I wonder” (0:45) and the quoted lyric (1:03–1:22) have awesome deliveries, but the latter especially works so amazingly well with the short pause before it — the guitar slide as the drums and bass stop — and the guitar and bass riffs that follow. 3:09–end also has a really cool guitar build up, then becomes this beautiful, soft outro I really like.

As of the time I’m writing this, I’m currently reading House of Leaves, and finally got to the part that the title of this song references. Seeing “The Hol[ ]y Tape” was pretty exciting for me (“they said the thing!!” type thing).
