I've seen him do some other interesting experiments directly to the piano strings before but this is one I can't really appreciate. 25 seconds is the max I can take.

I've been listening to the new album non-stop for a week now and love it (especially Effington) with one exception. The one track that doesn't work for me (at all is Free Coffee. I think the hiss loops are unlistenable. I keep skipping the track which is sad because I assume there are lyrics I'd appreciate if I could actually make it through the song.
