Apr 06, 2018 Friendly Fires By Christopher Roberts

It’s been seven long years since Pala, the sophomore album by London dance-rock trio Friendly Fires, but now they have returned with a brand new single, “Love Like Waves,” and it’s a whole lot of danceable fun. The band were pretty much on hiatus from 2012 - 2017, when they announced their return. Last night they made their live return, headlining London’s O2 Academy in Brixton and they are playing some UK festivals this summer. There’s no word on their third album, but this is likely the first single from it. Friendly Fires made a splash with their 2008-released self-titled debut album, which was fueled by the singles “Paris” and “Jump in the Pool” and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Listen to “Love Like Waves” below.
