An eagerly anticipated new single by sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady (aka CocoRosie) provides the springboard for the video “We Are On Fire.” The storyline is your basic witch-burning, drive out the heretics’ business, set to a sumptuous visual palette.

The lush, slow motion photography perfectly suits the ethereal jam, driven by the haunting refrain: “I used to have eyes the color of sky, now I can see in the middle of the night.”

“We Are On Fire,” (the first new release by Touch and Go since their hiatus), leans more heavily on CocoRosie’s trip-hop side with a dusty groove that, like the video, intoxicates and lulls you into repeated viewings.
