A self-proclaimed "Cold War kid," Pete Fij's fascination with espionage has breached the borders of interest and bled freely into his art.
His latest single, "Cuckoo," is a synth-rich take on his own family history mixed with David Leitch's film Atomic Blonde (2017). The lyrics are filled to the brim with mixed-up espionage terms that morph into their own code throughout the song, giving listeners something new to discover each time they listen.
Shot in black & white, the music video feels like a cold shot of whiskey poured over ice, slid across a teak-wood counter in a cocktail bar. That is to say, effortlessly cool and utterly simple in the same breath.
Formerly a member of Adorable, Pete Fij's recent venture into a solo career has been nothing short of vivacious, with each of his three released singles breathing a new personality into his body of work.
Fans can expect more fun in the upcoming year, so keep your ears open and eyes peeled (like a spy would, of course).
