When Korine ask you to join them, there is simply no choice but to go along no matter what the adventure. It could be riding the bus on the way home after school, dancing in an open field at dusk on the weekend, or off on an anachronistic trip to burn the world in the name of love. We get that last CYOA today (October 7) as the beloved Philadelphia duo strike a goth-pop match with a glistening new single called “Burn the World,” a fragrant electronic number that bounces when it needs to and flutters when it wants to. It’s got that house of mirrors strobe-heart mood that’s made Korine cult icons of the underground, and somehow after a string of unfuckwithable releases over the past few years the duo of Morgy Ramone and Trey Frye continue to set dark dance floors ablaze. Burn the world indeed, but not before dancing close to the open flame that once again draws us close.
UPDATE 11:53 a.m. EDT: This new track will be featured on Korine’s just-announced third album Tear, set for release February 17 through Born Losers and AVANT. Get the deets over on Bandcamp.
