Fire (2025 Reissue)

Fire, the debut album by Detroit’s Electric Six exploded onto the scene in 2003 and broke dancefloors everywhere. Containing the hit singles “Danger! High Voltage!” with rumored backing vocals by Jack White, and the iconic “Gay Bar”, the album celebrates its 21st anniversary this year. As part of the celebration, we will release a remastered edition of Fire on vinyl and cd, and the cd will include 5 bonus tracks.

Fire was recorded in 2002 and 2003 at White Room Studios and Ghetto Recorders in Michigan with additional work at Abbey Road and Olympic Studios in London. The first single from the album, “Danger! High Voltage” received glowing reviews and Pitchfork said it “drops a hard beat, announcing itself with taut wah-wah guitars before exploding into fuzztone and horns while singer Dick Valentine duets with the White Stripes’ Jack White”. The next single was “Gay Bar”, and the video was awarded Video Of The Year from both Q and Kerrang which helped it rise to #5 on the UK charts. The third single from the album, “Dance Commander” has an epic video which was made by acclaimed director Ruben Fleischer.
