Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire! are a band that are as restless to succeed as their 
animated name suggests. Having weathered the storm of their debut album 
Sea Priest (2010) and its subsequent national tour, F!SRF! have re-focussed 
towards crafting their sophomore effort. In 2011 they’re working harder, 
longer and more intensively towards a more refined evolution of their unique 
mix of agitated pop hooks, textured sonic contrasts and the vigorous 
momentum of six kinetic players working in unison.  

Having bonded with UK producer Gareth Parton (Foals, The Go! Team, Holy 
Fuck) over a love of angular guitars and beer, the band nestled into Sing Sing 
studios to create a polished article worthy of their new-found determination 
and musical direction. Mastered in London by Nilesh Patel (Björk, Air, The xx); 
the shimmering result is lead single Panther Shrine, a perfect portrait of the 
band’s contemporary powers. Fuelled by its central looping guitar riff, it 
expands into a spacious landscape of dreamy synths,
