It’s been two years since we last heard from Fight Bite, the beautifully gauzy dream-pop project of Neon Indian‘s Leanne Macomber. Leany just sent over the group’s new full-length, though, and the collection of dark, hauntingly seductive torch songs was well worth the wait. Soaring lead single “Charlotte Iris” (along with its danceable, album-closing counterpart “Charlotte Pluie“) is one of the loveliest, most dramatic things the group has ever done, and we suspect it will revive all of those breathless Cocteau Twins/Julee Cruise/Beach House comparisons from a few years back. Listen to that one + a couple other highlights from the record — heartbreaking album opener “Catiline” and the eerie, moving “Nancy” — below, and we also recommend picking up the whole thing over at Fight Bite‘s Bandcamp (you can also listen to the album in its entirety on Spotify).
who’s the cover girl? i mean, i’m sure that’s not her, just wanted to be sure.
Sounds a bit like Sleep Over, but still good.
fight bites been around longer than sleep over
oooh… my tilt just shifted
yeahhhh! used to see them all the time in denton
this makes my bathing suit spots tingle. the cover art is nice too.
That album was okay, it really didn’t touch any high notes with me, but the album cover is definitely NSFW, and I may buy the album just on the cover alone; which is something I’ve never done.
Dude, do not buy an album just because there is a lady showing her boobs on the front! You’re playing right into their hands!
i bought Autre Ne Veut cause of the pussy cover, and that ep is pretty rad. This sounds good, and those are nice tits so imma buy this too
You do realize you’re on the Internet, a place where pictures of those things are free, yes?
It’s not about that
I’m alternately eager/frightened to know what it’s about?
I was just wondering what had happened to these guys. I remember being completely blown away with “Celeste” when it came out a couple years back. That was a fucking great song. I’ll have to check out the album.
