Plume‘s Paige Pfleger has joined up with Patrick McGuire (formerly of Flashbulb Fires), on his latest project, Straight White Teeth. “Illuminate and Burn” is the first single, featured on their forthcoming release Physical Truth. McGuire and Pfleger interlace vocals over a folky beginning, before an enlightening injection of synth and percussion comes to play. Heartfelt harmonies are cast into motion by the dance-generating backdrop. Sincerity, provided with a dose of sadness over the unpredictable nature of the future the song, captures a bright/bleak dichotomy.
