Vocalist/guitarist Dimitri Giannopoulos discussed the new song saying: "'Mansion' is a song that started back in the self-titled days (2014/15 -ish). I remember being into the early Swans stuff back then and it had a pretty direct influence on the guitar and drums. I always regret not recording it when I was 20, so I could have tapped into the youthful rawness the self-titled album has.
In the studio Jamie, John and I knew how to play it right away even though we hadn't thought about it in almost eight years. That's a cool part about being in a band together for so long - the collective memory we share that allowed us to record something that was almost abandoned. The song only existed in our minds that whole time, no demos or anything."
Disaster Trick showcased Horse Jumper of Love at the peak of their powers. Now the Disaster Trick Deluxe Edition brings listeners further into the album's world, offering insights into the songwriting with sparse demos of roaring album cuts ("Snow Angel"), fascinating alternate versions ("Wink"), and previously unheard b-sides like "Mansion."
