Based on a lyric from Parliament/Funkadelic that The Mole’s daughters love to chant and shout in the car, Go Wiggle ! is in part about crossing thresholds and the dramatic effect of passing through doorways and also strictly retro, which can be heard in the drums and stripped down rhythms and harmonies.
