“Amnesia” by Fire on Fire
Described on their label’s website as, “like a backwoods, fierce, psychedelic Mamas And The Papas or a crazed and joyously vengeful gospel string band,” Fire on Fire’s 2007 5 song debut EP is that and more. Using a variety of instruments (harmonium, guitar, accordion, banjo, dobro, oud, nay, tamboritza, jembe and tamborine, to name just a few), Fire on Fire is able to switch between lead singers and lead instruments, while maintaining a sound that is at once recognizable and alien.
“Amnesia” is what I can only describe as an accordion stomp. Taking lead vocals (and also accordion) on this track is lone female member Colleen Kinsella, who sounds like she inhaled a helium balloon after I inhaled a nitrous balloon.
Enjoy!
We wait for no one, only undo whats been done
Playing out that bored rhythm
That drafty blanket we wrap ourselves in
