Hot Foxes simply describe themselves as, “Three friends, maybe we lived together at some point”. It’s a level of mystery I felt inclined not to dispel, and so that’s all you get to know, too.
Here on Imminent Danger, the trio channel 80s-hair-spray, synth-sheen and cinematic drums to create a sound both crisp and melodic. New wave chords open the song as a sole vocal charts its way through musical darkness, culminating in a chorus built on a big synth melody and powerful vocals.
The song charts a dual narrative that feels born to soundtrack a celluloid juxtaposition that would sit at home in an episode of Stranger Things… In one thread we see our heroes charting the upside down, danger around every corner, and in the other, we see some teens getting ready for a night out, the prospect of romantic liaisons on the cards. That’s because the imminent danger the song depicts is inspired by the alluring feeling of entering the unknown territory of uncharted love with another person.
