Friendly Fires, Live Those Days Tonight

Friendly Fires are an English trio from Hertfordshire, created in 2006 and composed by Ed Macfarlane, Jack Savidge and Edd Gibson.

They have two studio albums released Friendly Fires in 2008 and Pala in 2011 and Kompakt, Carl Craig and Prince as their biggest influences.

More details about the band here.

Pala was released on May 16th 2011, its name came from Aldous Huxley's final novel Island, telling the story of a journalist shipwrecked on an fiction Island, Pala, creating a utopian society.
The album's cover was chosen amoung the private collection of the Norwegian fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø.

Live Those Days Tonight is the debut single was  first played on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 on March 22, 2011. The single was later released on May 16, the same date has Pala's release.

The elements of this song are really funky, with a catchy samba rhythm mixed with synthesizered sounds and a bit of 80's pop. The combination might sound confusing but Friendly Fires really know how to make it work and incredibly well. I dare to compare Ed Mac's voice with Jamiroquai at some point turning everything more exciting.
Live Those Days Tonight is absolutely fresh and it will always surprise, you are always able to discover something new which is great!

"Face the ghost the keeps me on the ground
Take the best of what they talk about
In the cold outside we're waiting
To embrace the nights and pull it close
I'm gonna feel the love you had"

Standin' tall I make the moves

With the sun kissing my face
There's no way that I can lose"
