Friendly Fires - Paris

Words: Jule Wilson

 

From the word go, this track draws you right in, spilling out atmosphere in a dance/pop fusion of style and sound.

It's been single of the week just about everywhere and it's understandable, as it kind of creeps up on you until you feel like you could be in a stadium or dance tent with all the heat and colour and countless other sensations that go with it.

Although the vocal style is not far off normal speech and there's a definite 1980s influence with a wee bit of disco streaked through, it's obvious these St Albans lads are pretty passionate about playing and into a bit of experimentation.

This one's worked, and with its ethereal chorus and unbridled energy, the end is like a come down.
