Friendly Fires new material very different
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 9 July 2012
Friendly Fires have admitted that the band’s new material sounds very different to their past work, to the extent that they might release it under another name. The band’s Ed Macfarlane told the Sunday Mirror: “We’ve been working on eight minute long tracks that don’t sound anything like what we do now. The music is what it’s all about for us, so if [sticking with this material] means we [have to] release under a different name, then that’s fine”.
The band previously told NME that they wouldn’t release a third album until they had created new material that was “distinct and valid”. Though perhaps they weren’t initially thinking of making new songs quite so “distinct”.
