“ Tyler gave James Pants the stems for ‘Seven’ from his album Bastard and let him turn him into a devil with a thing for sonar ping and deep hand drums. There’s also a bit of late song sexy sax which turns into solo sad sax. James Pants is the kind of dude who has one mode, pretty much switched to geek out at all times. Tyler’s got the fuck/party/kill mode on lots, but he recedes to nerd when appropriate. Basically this song is like they are the King of Queens and Adam Sandler in that movie about pretending to be domestic partners, except instead of firefighters they have MacBook Pros with expensive software, some they bought, some they stole. ” -The Fader
