Iconic Art-Pop Group FISCHERSPOONER Release New Album SIR Available Today
By: Macon Prickett Feb. 16, 2018
Iconic art-pop group Fischerspooner release their first album in nearly a decade, Sir, today via Ultra Records. Entirely produced by Michael Stipe, the album presents a resistant narrative with an overtly queer and celebratory body of work in response to the current atmosphere in America. The collection of erotically-charged, yet profound songs was crafted by Spooner and Stipe at Michael's home in Athens, GA, alongside Michael's close collaborator Andy LeMaster. It also features additional production by BOOTS (Beyonce, Run The Jewels, FKA Twigs) and mixing by both Stuart White (Beyonce's Lemonade) and Andy LeMaster. In addition, it features contributions by Spooner's longtime collaborator Le Chev, as well as Thomas Haskett.
In celebration, they share their captivating new video for "Butterscotch Goddam," which was directed by Carlo Van de Roer. Roer said about the project, "The song is about a tumultuous love affair. We shot the video entirely in-camera, using optical devices and new filmmaking tools to play with the push and pull of a dichotomous relationship, and the accumulating distortion of reality that comes with that."
Fischerspooner will kick off their west coast tour in San Francisco on March 14, with a stop in Los Angeles on March 15 and wrapping in Santa Ana on March 16 - all tour dates below. Tickets are on sale now here: showsnear.by/fischerspoonertour.
