In the band's album Fevers & Mirrors, a hidden track consisting of a fictional interview can be heard, after the song An Attempt To Hit The Scales. When questioned about the reference to the drowning of his younger sibling, Oberst insists that he actually had five baby brothers, all named Padraic, each drowned by his mother for five consecutive years.
