Fire Show

Guitar puzzles and bloody romantic epics from Seth and Michael (ex-Number One Cup). Dub mixes and pop reconstructions unfold with surgical ease. Cure-like vocals and Gang of Four/Wire guitars wrestle with 21st century medicine. Worlds away from their work with Number One Cup, Seth and Michael find their own voice on The Fire Show and shamelessly never look back. Recorded by Brian Deck, on a hot streak after producing Modest Mouse's the Moon and Antarctica and Orso's Long Time By. Brian gives the Fire Show the treatment: orchestral strings, radio static, tape loops and other odd bits of sound dodge around the skeleton and through the bloodstream of a rock band willingly going under the knife.
