Idea Fire Company – Hot Enough For You? LP
€24.00
This latest dispatch from the ever-enduring world of Idea Fire Company was recorded between 2019-2023 in Vermont & Massachusetts with the core duo of Karla Borecky and Scott Foust joined by Robert Beerman on percussion, Matt Krefting on alto sax, Mike Popovich on bass, and Timothy Shortell on clarinet.
The minimal sinking-ship drift IFCo have honed for decades plumbs surreal new depths on ‘Hot Enough For You?’. Like lounge music refracted through a thousand burning cocktails.
The album’s title & cover suggest a theme or concept but nothing’s made explicit. Could it be a nod to Liza Minelli’s faded starlet attempting a comeback in ‘The Act’? Or maybe a comment on impending environmental collapse? Are those fish on the cover swimming in the sea or a tank?
Either way, Idea Fire Company continue to confound and perplex after 37 years of activity. Aren’t we the lucky ones!
