LoveLikeFire are set to play a string of UK dates this Autumn- kicking off in Cambridge on September 15th. The band are set to play shows across the country to promote their forthcoming debut album ‘Tear Ourselves Away’- set for release September 14th.

LoveLikeFire is the brainchild of Las Vegas born, San Francisco based Ann Yu. Yu spent most of her youth in frustration, with her parents refusing to let her listen to contemporary music of any description. She trained as a classical violinist, but yearned to spend time with music that spoke to her on a more personal, affecting level. The music of LoveLikeFire was nothing more than a recurring dream, but one that Yu longed to live out and discover.

Yu eventually left home and moved into a downtown apartment with members of The Killers, sharing their garage rehearsal space in the heart of Las Vegas. It soon became apparent that the local music scene was overbearing and heavily over subscribed by the same dominant and too familiar faces. Yu packed up what she could carry, and headed out to San Francisco to develop and focus on that long-standing vision of LoveLikeFire.

Fresh from a series of acclaimed shows at this year’s SXSW, LoveLikeFire channel the drama and multi-layered wall of melody akin to Arcade Fire borne through the alternate vision of Yu. It is a sound that simmers in a darkly brooding territory, before it twists and turns into a different shape altogether. A dynamic akin to friends The Killers features throughout, but with an altogether more delicate, controlled touch.

The single ‘Bordeom’ is set for release on 24th August 2009, shortly followed by the stunning debut album ‘Tear Ourselves Away’ on14th September 2009 (Heist or Hit Records).
