Gigs & Festivals Releases
Friendly Fires announce new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 23 March 2011
Friendly Fires have announced that they will release their second album, entitled ‘Pala’, on 16 May via XL Recordings. This is very good news and in celebration I’m going to do a little dance around the office.
Okay, I’m back. The album is named after the island in Aldous Huxley’s 1962 novel ‘Island’, and was produced by the band themselves and Paul Epworth.
Speaking of Friendly Fires and Paul Epworth, both will appear at this year’s Great Escape, with the band playing a headline show and Epworth being interviewed as part of the conference, to discuss his career to date.
The first single from the album, ‘Live Those Days Tonight’, is available to listen to now on the band’s website at www.wearefriendlyfires.com. The band have also announced an intimate show at XOYO in London on 7 Apr to preview their new material.
Here’s the album’s tracklist:
