Today, Jade Hairpins which is the project of Fucked Up’s Jonah Falco and Mike Haliechuk—released their new single “Like Fumes” via Merge Records.
It’s a late-summer synth-driven new wave rock track, carrying a vibrant energy and a vibe reminiscent of Men Without Hats.
About the track by Jonah:
“During the sessions for Get Me the Good Stuff, we found a small Juno keyboard and got it wired in.
It was buggy and wouldn’t clock to our tempos, and the patches were a little unreliable, so once we found a sound we liked, we didn’t turn it off for about three days.
The chord function produced this hazy dreamy pad which sounded right in any chord progression we played…unless we tried to put it on an existing track, where it absolutely never fit.
‘Like Fumes’ was conceived based on this particular set of limitations, and we built our small sound world around it.
There are no guitars and about ten drum tracks. Lyrically, we wanted something lazy and nocturnal, sullen but confident, that could lie under the blanket of the music, postponing getting out of bed.”
