Premiere: London’s Gold Fir create a funk fever dream on “Fatal Fantasies”

London pair Gold Fir’s new single is a four-minute escapist fantasy. The track alternates between the lucid rhythms of a late-night funk workout and the kinetic energy of a club banger and the shimmering melodies of a heartfelt ballad.

Abstract lyrics describe a nightclubber strutting knowingly into the ambiguous space between love and lust under a sea of strobe lights. Unlikely genres – soft rock, afrobeat and synthpop – are combined to create an elusive, original space in the pop scene.

The track follows on from Gold Fir’s previous underground hits “Nightwalk” and “Sirens”. Follow Gold Fir here for more.
