Self Esteem have joined forces for the sentimental new single ‘Rescue Me’. Check it out below.The track comes from Rasmussen’s new album ‘Live Wire’ (listen here) and sees the two artists explore the complexities of friendship in the modern world.It comes alongside a Vic Lentaigne-directed video, where scenes from Rasmussen and Self Esteem’s relationship are played out from a bedroom.

From there, they ruminate on their love lives, give each other brutally honest fashion opinions, and argue over Buffy the Vampire Slayer plot lines.In a press release, Rasmussen shared that the track is about “friendships changing”.

They explain: “About, perhaps, both of you judging the decisions the other has made in their life. In the end maybe we all need a little rescuing from the structures that seem to overtake our lives when we aren’t looking — capitalism, heteronormativity, spin class.“Throwback to my indie days with the prod — big drums, big guitar, big feelings.

With the best of them all Self Esteem, someone who feels these things like I do. Couldn’t be luckier that she agreed to join in.
