"When We're Fire" comes from Blue Film, the 2014 debut by Lo-Fang, the name Matthew Hemerlein records under, out on 4AD. Hemerlein produced and recorded it with François Tétaz, who mixed it alongside Travis Ference, and Michael Iveson is credited on drums.
The album took three years and started life as a mixtape before new material filled it out into a full-length. Much of it grew out of travel: a 2011 trip to Cambodia with a cameraman friend from National Geographic Channel, then Tokyo, Bali, London and across America, and the places and people he met shaped his lyrics and his instruments alike. He plays violin, cello, bass, guitar and piano, and all of them made it onto the record. A college dropout whose lyrics first won him a publishing deal, he signed to 4AD in 2013.
