"Soul & Fire" is a Lou Barlow song from Bubble and Scrape, the fourth Sebadoh album, released by Sub Pop in April 1993. It arrived at a turning point: this was the first Sebadoh record cut entirely in a proper studio, leaving the lo-fi, home-taped murk of the early albums behind for longer songs, fuller arrangements and a lot more electric guitar.
Barlow, a co-founder, had mostly traded acoustic for electric this time out, splitting the songwriting with fellow founder Eric Gaffney and Jason Loewenstein. It turned out to be the last Sebadoh album with Gaffney's songs on it, and its extra polish pointed the way to Bakesale in 1994.
