Friendly Fires

February 4th, 2009

I was just sitting around wondering out loud, “Whatever happened to Friendly Fires? I super loved their first couple eps/single.” So I jumped on the MySpace, and sure enough their debut album is right around the corner. Good news.

That said, I’m not sure I am totally sold on “Jump In The Pool”… it’s kinda missing the addictive groove of their previous songs (i.e. “Paris” or that excellent Nightmoves remix of “On Board”), but maybe it’s just not what I was expecting? I’m pretty sure after a few more listens I’m gonna fall hard for it. I hope. I do enjoy how the song jumps between thick and layered and then straight forward and kinda simple… it is an interwoven song that builds into something kinda lovely. But I worry it might eventually fall onto a blandish playlist of forgotten mp3s. Ohemgee.
