Songfacts®:

  • Josh "Deakin" Dibb (from AUX Magazine): "Pulleys" sounds different than a lot of the record. There's a certain thing we tapped into here, the pace of it, there's this Southeast Asian psych sort of thing."
  • Regarding Dave 'Avey Tare' Portner's lyrics, Deakin told AUX Magazine: "In terms of the way Dave wrote these lyrics, there's a lot of different ways you can hear it that aren't what he was thinking but that have very deep, emotional resonance with me. I think it fits really well with the next song ("Amanita").
  • Beachwood Sparks and All Night Radio axeman Dave Scher contributes the lap steel guitar to this track.
