This song was born out of the Boca Chica Kickstarter campaign of last fall. One of rewards offered was the chance to commission a Boca Chica song on the topic of one's choice. Writer and artist Jacob Liechty of Denver, Colorado sent Hallie a story he had written about his time living in Mali. In particular, it was about getting malaria in Bamako and spending time in a clinic with another sick friend. He asked Hallie to write a song inspired by the story. The result is a decidedly hallucinatory folk track.
