It's time for some more Friendly Fires-related content! Krystina Nellis awarded their most recent record, Pala, 8/10 writing:
“"What we have in Pala is not some great band reinvention, or some desperately profound effort; it’s giant choruses, relatable lyrics, a million earworm riffs and 11 dance anthems."”
Which is fair enough, I guess. The band have now just released a new video, for 'Hawaiian Air', which can be watched below. It starts off badly enough but then, of course, they end up on a bloody beach. Of course they do.
It's a while away yet, but the band recently announced a November tour of the UK. See below for them.
November 2011 10 - Bristol, O2 Academy 11 - Birmingham, O2 Academy 12 - Southampton, Guildhall 14 - Nottingham, Rock City 15 - Newcastle, O2 Academy 17 - Manchester, O2 Apollo 18 - Glasgow, Barrowlands 19 - Leeds, O2 Academy 21 - Cambridge, Corn Exchange 22 - Lincoln, Engine Shed 25 - London, Brixton Academy
