Any Friendly Fires fans on this forum? There should be!

The first single from the new album got uploaded to YouTube today. I think it's pretty sweet and I reckon I'll probably grow to like it even more. New album is out on May 16th as well. It's called Pala if you haven't heard already.

Obvious single is obvious.

I'll look forward to the album but this is a bit dull. But no doubt it's a pretty catchy melody, hence why it's the obvious choice.

Pralinn · 2011-03-26, 21:54:10

chorus reminds me Jamiroquai, but as long as the production is good as it is, I'm in love with it

looking forward for the album

auxrevoir · 2011-03-28, 13:08:52

big fan, amped for the album. singles fucking wicked.

shortcircuit · 2011-03-29, 00:55:24

Never bothered listening to them much before but this sounds pretty cool. I feel a kind of 80s pop vibe from it.

CrazyCat · 2011-03-29, 13:18:12

First album right up there for me, hoping good things for this album.

Evangelink · 2011-03-29, 14:38:48

Love the first album, very excited for the new stuff. This single is definitely good, and my interest is certainly piqued for the album.

auxrevoir · 2011-03-29, 20:49:58

been on repeat for a few days, i cant wait haha

Attack Yourself! · 2011-03-30, 12:32:38

Kind of hoping this'll grow on me. Wasn't as enthralled by it as I'd hoped.

Liking the album art mind, I bloody love parrots me.

Bela · 2011-03-31, 11:11:42

I like it and I really look forward to the new album, but it still didn't make me go WOW...maybe I should listen to it on repeat, should work

murray888 · 2011-03-31, 13:14:18

Can't check it at work, but I don't doubt it'll be good. FF are one of the best live bands I've seen in the last few years - fantastic live.

Attack Yourself! · 2011-04-02, 20:46:27

Wonder if that track they did with Azari & III will be on this album

Yekrats · 2011-04-05, 03:53:24

Don't think it will be. The tracklist is reported to be:

01. Live Those Days Tonight
02. Blue Cassette
03. Running Away
04. Hawaiian Air
05. Hurting
06. Pala
07. Show Me Lights
08. True Love
09. Pull Me Back To Earth
10. Chimes
11. Helpless.

Is there an unmixed version of their Suck My Deck?

Yekrats · 2011-04-12, 16:53:56

There isn't a hard copy that I know of but you can buy the album unmixed as an mp3 from most mp3 places.

Evangelink · 2011-05-17, 10:31:17

Hands up whos got the new album then?

I'm liking it a lot on first listen, perhaps not as many immediate songs as the first album, but I think it's one that will get better and better.

Favourite track so far? Probably 'Blue Cassette'. I love the nostalgia induced by the stopping tape sounds. Also is the one that will sound staggeringly amazing when watching them in the sunshine at summer festivals.

Attack Yourself! · 2011-05-17, 10:58:23

Yeah not as instantly catchy as the first record but after a few listens it's really grown on me. 'Blue Cassette' is colossal.

JoelDee · 2011-05-17, 13:16:18

When was it out!?

murray888 · 2011-05-17, 13:29:13

I'll be getting my hands on this ASAP. I've been listening to it on the facebook widget for the last couple of days. Sounds like it's a grower, but it's growing on me already.

Attack Yourself! · 2011-05-17, 13:30:08

Tim Green has remixed 'Hawaiian Air'.

Blue Cassette is heavily indebted to The Field by the sounds of it.

PaoloTramezzani · 2011-05-17, 15:40:07

by the sound of the song or by the sound of what people are saying?

jestered · 2011-05-17, 22:17:49

Beautiful album. The single's still my favourite, followed by Blue Cassette then Chimes.
Looking forward to hearing Tim Green's remix of Hawaiian Air.

Attack Yourself! · 2011-05-18, 12:16:00

My top 3 are 'Blue Cassette', 'Pull Me Back To Earth' and 'Hurting'.
