Today, Jade Hairpins—the duo of Jonah Falco and Mike Haliechuk of Fucked Up—return with “Like Fumes.” The song, Jade Hairpins’ first since 2024’s Get Me the Good Stuff, is a perfect late-summer heater, a shimmering apparition in the distance that is at once tantalizing and ominous, its hazy twin keyboards providing a dreamy soundscape for the harmony that emerges from Falco’s and Haliechuk’s distorted vocals. It is accompanied by a hypnotic visualizer of the single’s cover artwork; watch it below and listen to “Like Fumes” wherever you stream music.

Jonah Falco on “Like Fumes”:

During the sessions for Get Me the Good Stuff, we found a small Juno keyboard and got it wired in. It was buggy and wouldn’t clock to our tempos, and the patches were a little unreliable, so once we found a sound we liked, we didn’t turn it off for about three days. The chord function produced this hazy dreamy pad which sounded right in any chord progression we played…unless we tried to put it on an existing track, where it absolutely never fit. “Like Fumes” was conceived based on this particular set of limitations, and we built our small sound world around it. There are no guitars and about ten drum tracks. Lyrically, we wanted something lazy and nocturnal, sullen but confident, that could lie under the blanket of the music, postponing getting out of bed.

“Like Fumes” hits just in time for Jade Hairpins’ latest round of UK dates featuring Rixy, Ouch!, and Crocodiles. In November, they’ll take a second lap of the UK, this time with Hotline TNT. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.
