This Friday, Allison Goldfarb of Geranium and Jackson MacIntosh of TOPS and Drugdealer release their debut album Paycheque. So far we've heard " Generic Actress " and " Temporary Love ," and today the LA duo is unveiling one last preview with "Heatwave."

"Before Paycheque really started, Jackson bought Allison a TR-505 drum machine for her birthday, and we initially used it on all of our songs, but it was eventually replaced on every song except for this one, which is a takedown of the greasy charmers of the world," the band explains. "Not to brag, but the guitar solo was recorded in a single take. This one was inspired by the likes of Saada Bonaire and Gina X Performance — the tough Germanic hotties of the '80s."

Below, watch its accompanying music video directed by Ian F. Svenonius.

Paycheque  is out 6/12 on Mansions And Millions.
