"Tachycardia" is one of the songs Conor Oberst wrote back home in Omaha after he was forced off the road. In late October 2015, midway through a Desaparecidos tour behind Payola, he was hospitalized with laryngitis, anxiety and exhaustion, the rest of the dates were scrapped, and he went home to recover. The months that followed produced Ruminations, his seventh solo album, released on Nonesuch in October 2016.

He wrote this one alone and cut it, like the rest of the record, at ARC Studios in Omaha in February 2016, in a session that lasted all of two days. Ben Brodin engineered and Mike Mogis mixed. Nobody else is on it: Ruminations is Oberst by himself, with only his voice, acoustic guitar, piano and harmonica to lean on.
