Jen and Henry dive into the heart of Apollo 6's first single, "The Comeback Kid." This track marked a turning point in the album's creation, as it was not only the first song expressly written for Apollo 6, but also a test run to see how well or not they could adapt to remote recording.

Learn the origins of the song's lyrics, which emerged from Jen ad-libbing over a looped riff before the final lyrics were… uh… cemented… and how this single became the catalyst for the musique concrète-inspired sound effects throughout the entire record.
