The song, "El Topo", is partially inspired by the films of David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky. Danya Vodovoz used Jodorowsky's film "El Topo", for the name of the song, since he could imagine his music as an imaginary soundtrack of this nearly forgotten masterpiece. The unusual structure and rhythm of the track were developed by jamming to a vinyl record playing the rhythmic noise of the lead out groove, in combination with an old guitar loop from an eight-track tape recorder. This all happened spontaneously after a night of partying at Danya's studio.
