American electroclash duo Fisherspooner – who hail from New York – have been around since the late 1990s and produced three albums in the first decade of the 21st century. In 2017, news of a new “aggressively homosexual” album, SIR, co-written and co-produced by R.E.M’s Michael Stipe and BOOTS, with a video  for the first track release referencing the glory days of Fire Island pushed them back into the rainbow spotlight.
