Fire in the Northern Firs perform in The Current studio

St. Paul, Minn. — Fire In The Northern Firs grabs members from Goodday, Montag, First Communion Afterparty, and Sun in the Satellite, combining the wildly varying sounds of each of the three acts into a distinct shoegaze experiment. They've been around for a little while but have consistently been overshadowed by their various side projects. Now the band is in full force, releasing the gorgeous and increasingly buzzed about Field Guide EP.

The band manages to pack just about any style into a coherent final product, from krautrock to new wave and always doused in a heavy layer of reverb.

Songs performed: "Interior Design," "Night of 1,000 Chaperones," and "Chat Rooms."
