Songfacts®:

  • Vocalist Johnny Lloyd told NME about this hallucinogenic rattler: "That's the most experimental track on the record," he said. "It's got no chorus and no verse, it's a singular lyric that rolls through the whole thing with the most experimental s--t. There's even a sax solo. At the end it sounds like something off (Lou Reed's) Transformer. It's about being really strung out and being awake."
  • Wish To Scream only reached #45 on the UK album chart. Tribes announced in November 2013 that they were calling it a day following the muted reaction to the record.
