Caleb L’Etoile – “Fireball”
“Fireball” can mean a lot of things. It’s the go-to sorcery spell in D&D for mass destruction, the go-to alcoholic beverage for lovers of cinnamon destruction, and the latest track from Caleb L’Etoile. Written as a tip of the cap and a tongue of the cheek to the sock hop anthems of yesteryear, it is impossibly catchy and if you still have your shoes on and aren’t boppin’ along – please get your ears checked.
My mother always spoke fondly of sock hops and desperately wanted to us to relive that dream for her – whether her own idealized version of what they were or from actual experience, I’ll never know (I was like 8). I’ll probably just ask her tomorrow, but in the meantime, you can live Babs’ fever dream of sock hoppin’ in the safety of your own living room right now.
You can hear “Fireball” below on Bandcamp, as well as add to your end of summer/L’Etoile’s birthday celebration playlist on Spotify and Apple Music. The rest of the EP, titled i’m so hot. i’m a little fireball, is also available on Bandcamp, so be sure to give the rest a listen.
