Posted July 30, 200816 yr http://www.drownedinsound.com/resized_images/190x190/30270.jpeg 'Paris' video / Myspace Tracklisting 01. Jump In The Pool 02. In The Hospital 03. Paris 04. White Diamonds 05. Strobe 06. On Board 07. Lovesick 08. Skeleton Boy 09. Photobooth 10. Ex Lover DrownedInSound Friendly Fires Digression: Friendly Fires are Ed Mac, Edd Gibson and Jack Savidge. The former of the three is on the other end of a telephone connection suffering from ulterior assault, passer-by vocal chords evidently the size of Transformer voice boxes. He hears me; me, I’ve a recording device plugged in, thankfully. Transcribed: as follows momentarily. First, background. The St Albans-spawned trio’s releases to date number three and are the Photobooth EP, the Cross The Line EP and, most recently (and reviewed here as Single of the Week), the limited-run seven-inch ‘Paris’. Between two and three a remix release, rightly pointing newcomers to the band’s own roots: this is dance music, for dancing to; it’s not indie-dance music for geeks to get all chin-strokey over. It’s more !!! than not, more LCD than LSF. Don’t over-intellectualise, kids – it makes the brain freeze up and your feet fall off, and with no feet you’re really gonna be bummed when Friendly Fires next roll into town. Your mates, shaking it some; you, glum at the side. That’ll teach you. First single is 'Jump In The Pool' and it's quite good. :o I have high hopes for the album aswell seen as though it's only 10 tracks long. Edited October 2, 20222 yr by WhoOdyssey
July 30, 200816 yr Really liked Paris and Jump in the Pool seems pretty good but I've only heard it once, so I can't really comment on it really. I hope the rest of the album is as good as Paris :heart:
July 30, 200816 yr I've heard the singles Paris, On Board and the new one Jump In The Pool. And if those are anything to go by then it's gonna be an album of the year Edited July 30, 200816 yr by titty
July 30, 200816 yr It's good, but nowhere near as good as Paris, which from all the songs i've heard from them, none of them come close tbh. Should hopefully be seeing them live too.
July 30, 200816 yr I'LL FIND YOU THAT FRENCH BOY, YOU'LL FIND ME THAT FRENCH GIRL <3 Friendly Fires are sex. Really though. Actual sex. Photobooth is topnotch too.
July 31, 200816 yr it's taken them a while though hasn't it, I can remember at the start of the year their names were set aside Duffy's, Ting Tings etc to make it big in 2008, Paris is an amazing track, as is On Board, have yet to hear any of their other stuff..........that'll change in the next 30mins.......... www.lockoutmusic.com
August 1, 200816 yr Author The albums alright I thought, a little bit samey but overall quite good. I can see it being a grower however. :o

October 8, 20222 yr Their best album imo. Looking forward to the extra goodies we'll get for this *.* Unfortunately it seems like it's just a live performance of the album in full! Hopefully new stuff isn't too far away.
