Sarah's "apocalyptic" vocals here have been the subject of much fan speculation. They also used a telephone pickup coil, a recording of a Nintendo 64 game crashing that Gus made years prior, odd speech through lo-fi samplers, home keyboards programmed to sound like they were malfunctioning, a Game Boy, and so forth. Anthony Lim, who mixed the record, used unusual stereo field plug-ins for a totally disorienting effect. This was recorded as an alternate option for the noise in "Outside", but the group felt it worked better in "Rest Stop". Jenny also recorded noise on Press Play's EMS Synthi A. We put the chords through different effects, then edited and layered together. The chords were written on keyboard, and James played each chord for a while with Gus holding down extra notes on a fretboard. The group used a variety of techniques for the song. Like most KKB songs, the title for this song came about through a process of matching themes and musical ideas that go well with each other. Gus came up with the title "Rest Stop" while landing in Madrid, Spain for a Kane West show. He was actually there to be finishing their cover of Oasis' "Rock 'n Roll Star" for DEEK Recordings' "Covered in Gloria" compilation. Gus wrote the chords for this section very late at night, around 3 AM, on his own in a studio in Beverly Grove in Los Angeles.
