Steffaloo aka Steph Thompson featured on the blog last month with her collaboration Toy Camera, she returns in her own right thanks to her upcoming 7″ 'On Fire', which comes out August 16th via JAXART Records. Limited to 300 copies on marbled 7" vinyl, it's available to pre-order here.
To wet the appetite we've been treated to a free download of the b-side, the beautiful "The Red Runs Free". Steph's soft vocal whispers are genteel and wistful, it features Pandit, who provides the gently plucked wash of acoustic guitar that simply but delightfully backs the track, it's a perfect soundtrack for those all to fleeting lazy days when you can put to bed the troubles of the office and simply relax.
"On Fire" is equally refined, her soulful purr is intimate, haunting and devastatingly gorgeous. A simple ballad, but an affecting one too. The released follows Steffaloo's album 'Meet Me in Montauk', an album I'm yet to hear (for my sins), believe me when I say I'll be correcting that soon.
I doubt those three hundred vinyl's will hang around too long, so get one ordered quick.
