The lyrics – “Set fire to the house, burning through the pleasure with you. Get up, get up, get out of your head. Get up, get up, get up, feel alive” – reflect that hedonistic duality. Plus, it’s just relentlessly catchy.
“Pleasure” – produced and co-written by Wally Gagel (Best Coast, Zella Day, Family of the Year, Escondido) – is out now on WAX LTD with a 7-inch due soon with the dreamily cinematic B-side “Domino.” An EP is in the works for early next year with even more exciting new songs. A full-length will follow later in 2016.
blondfire also recently collaborated with Russian EDM superstar Arty on the just-released “Glorious” (Interscope).
A busy 2016 of touring is in the works, as well. blondfire’s extensive touring history includes Lollapalooza and SXSW, and bills with the likes of Foals, Surfer Blood, Relient K, The Sounds, Kongos, AWOLNation, the Mowgli’s, Hunter Hunted, Ivy, Robbers on High Street, Stars, and many more.
Light the fire.
