about this song

This track is about reclusive artist Henry Darger, whose 15,000-page novel, The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, and 300 associated paintings were not discovered or known of until after his death. Darger, in a similar way to Jeff Mangum, is considered a genius who hid much of his art from the world. Much of Darger’s work was inspired by the story of Elsie Paroubek
