\\u201cWe have been fans of Jeff Parker (both solo and his work with Tortoise) for years, and when thinking about who the right person may be to collaborate with on this song it became abundantly clear once I threw his name out," explained High Pulp\'s drummer Bobby Granfelt in a press release. "Jeff\\u2019s maturity and humility shine throughout this song. It tells a story and feels more like watching someone make a painting than listening to a traditional guitar solo.\\u201d

\\u201c\'Unified Dakotas\' was one of the last songs that we wrote, and it quickly became one of the band\\u2019s favorite songs from Days In The Desert,\\u201d he continues. \\u201dIf you listen to the trumpet writing you can hear explicit choices and tones inspired by [the 1959 Miles Davis album] Sketches of Spain; we felt this song called for that color palette: playful, tense, and slightly indignant.\\u201d
