Since coming back to Earth on swimming's opening track, we've witnessed Mac Mailer continually pursue flight and the weightless freedom that comes with a clear mind and focus on the present.

On wings, he flaps and sores, on ladders he celebrates the climb.

On Conversations Part 1, he orbits outer space in a spaceship.

And as swimming continues, so too does Max's relentless pursuit of levity.

On the album's next two tracks, he contrasts two types of clouds,

two different highs that will ultimately conflict with one another,

forcing a come-down, a sobering descent back to reality.

From Spotify, I'm Cole Kushna, and this is Dissect,

long-form musical analysis broken into short digestible episodes.

Today we continue our serialized examination of Mack Miller swimming with its 10th and 11th tracks,

Dunno and Jet Fuel. Oh, you know, you're going to. E. Dunno was produced by Parson Brown with additional production by John Bryan and Mac Miller.

Matt getting additional production credits seems like an inside joke of source.

Seeing as Parson Brown was one of Max's many producer aliases,

joining Larry Fisherman, Delusional Thomas, and a handful of others.

Parson Brown was a name that was born in the swimming era, with the only other song produced

under this alias being Buttons,

which was part of a three pack of songs released shortly before swimming.

Similar to John Doe, Parson Brown is a generic fictional name that's used to refer to Priests in the 18 18th century as heard in the famous holiday song

Winter Wonderland. And pretend that he is parson Brown.

He'll say, are you married?

Will say no man.

But you can do the job when you're in town.
