New Yorkers Ball Of Flame Shoot Fire defy easy classification. Having released their well received, but little heard, debut Jokeland in 2008, their sophomore full-length is due in the autumn. They’ve spent the time since playing with a range of acts such as Yeasayer, Grizzly Bear and Mates Of State, and they will also be playing Brooklyn’s Northside Festival later this month.

We have a couple of tasters for you from the debut album, two of their very fine singles: Mugs and Patience. With a sound that calls to mind Animal Collective, Frog Eyes and the like, they patrol the fringes of indie rockdom with unusual harmonies and lithe, sinewy melodies that are as memorable as they are unpredictable.
