Nervous Young Inhumans

"Nervous Young Inhumans" was the final track written and recorded for Twin Fantasy,^[2] with Toledo originally sharing the song on Tumblr in October 2011.^[3] Both versions of the song feature a spoken word outro performed over an instrumental jam, with the original 2011 version featuring Toledo explaining his use of the term "galvanistic" in the chorus, and drawing allusions to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Steven Hyden of Uproxx would compare this monologue to "a filmmaker embedding his own director’s commentary into the closing credits".^[4]

The spoken word outro would be completely re-written for the re-recording, with added references to the "painstar" (a fictional concept from the webcomic Lamezine 001 by Cate Wurtz),^[5] Murray Wilson, and a series of nightmares Toledo had after watching the 2017 film, The Evil Within. In a self-published interview with Peyton Thomas, Toledo would describe the updated outro as "much more stream-of-consciousness", comparing it, and the associated jam, to Neil Young's album Hitchhiker. The lyrics referencing "galvanism" in the chorus would also be removed after Toledo realized the adjectival form of galvanism would be "galvanic" instead of "galvanistic".^[2]

A music video was released alongside the single, directed by front man Will Toledo in collaboration with the production company Dos Rios.^[6][7][8][9] The video shows a split screen of Toledo singing and dancing along with the track, alongside a brief cameo from the band's percussionist, Andrew Katz.^[7][10]
