Lily & Madeleine’s sophomore album, Fumes, is now streaming in full exclusively at NPR Music. Of the record, the site praises, “Fumes is a misleading record, the way a masterfully performed dance is misleading: It looks easy only because the complexities behind it are unfathomable to outsiders. There’s a borderlessness to Lily & Madeleine that leans from seamlessly natural to mesmerizingly preternatural, hinting at deeper forces at work than skill and practice.”

“I had never been in a situation like it,” singer Wolf Bradley explained about the lyrics. “I was thrown into some sort of odd love triangle. This girl had everything; brains, personality, sense of humor, looks. Little did I know she was dating another guy as well. I decided to embrace the circumstance and enjoy whatever time we had. This piece of music just kind of fell out of me after it was all over. This song is about a girl who two-timed me and I don’t care.”
