Friendly Fires Artist Snapshot:

Hailing from St. Albans, a town on the outskirts of London, Friendly Fires present a poppier take on the shoegaze-dance rock (aka nu rave) revival arising in the late '00s U.K. While the band dallies with immersive ear candy sonics (like scene contemporaries Klaxons), hipshaking beats and indelible hooks hold sway. Consisting of Ed Macfarlane (vocals, bass, keyboards), Edd Gibson (guitar), and Jack Savidge (drums), the trio shot to prominence on the strength of early house-inspired singles like "Paris" and soon saw themselves signed to XL and playing some of the world's biggest festivals.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.125) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "At heart, they are strict pop formalists, packing each track with peppy hooks, gushy New Romantic choruses and Talking Heads-style nerd funk."
Spin (p.90) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he trio offers copious catchy bits, more tonal variation than the usual guitar-plus-beats norm, and an appealingly pleading frontman in Ed Macfarlane."
Clash (magazine) (p.124) - "Their self-titled album is an indie pop explosion, sprinkled with some magic dust and constantly oozing '90s dance, European techno and some lovely teen romance."
Clash (magazine) (p.63) - Ranked #30 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "Like the beautiful love-child of Hot Chip and Talking Heads, this is one band who deserve your attention..."

Title Note

England's Friendly Fires is an indie rock band that isn't afraid to unleash danceable beats or irresistible melodies, drawing on the best of dance-rock, synth pop, and shoegaze-influenced atmospherics. The band's full-length self-titled debut puts all these influences on proud display, and while one might immediately invoke comparisons to Franz Ferdinand, LCD Soundsystem, and New Order, the musical ride is a thoroughly enjoyable one. Album opener "Jump in the Pool," with its lush, percolating rhythms, is a highlight, but all of FRIENDLY FIRES delivers the dance-rock goods.
