Description[]
This instrumental appears along Halo of Gold as a B-Side for the Tropicalia single. It's very bassy and funky. It has a variety of lead instruments and sounds over a groovy, repetitive rhythm. Beck played every instrument by himself.
The title comes from a line from Bottle of Blues ("eagles drone and pose alone / like black balloons all banged and blown.").
