iTunes Review
Friendly Fires’ 2008 eponymous debut introduced a promising band with an uncanny knack for songwriting, but it also revealed the them as genre neophytes, trying on bygone musical styles like vintage clothing. With Pala, the Hertfordshire, England–based trio solidify their sound. Over a dance-punk foundation, Friendly Fires trim their tunes with trace elements of disco, soul, dream-pop, and post-punk. The instantly winsome “Live Those Days Tonight” opens, pulsing on cosmopolitan dance-pop. Without reverting to retro rehash, the tune recalls moments of neon brilliance last heard in 1986. The following “Blue Cassette” starts like an early Daft Punk outtake before unraveling into a gigantic swooning anthem where the band somehow fuses a '80s New Romantic–flavored chorus with verses enveloped in electro-pop. This creates a well-oiled machine of innovative, kinetic dance music loaded to the gills with pop hooks. “Hurting” is another solid standout, where glossy disco rhythms and blue-eyed soul melodies braid together. “Pull Me Back to Earth” remains festive amid its gauzy soundscapes.

Addicitve.
After a few listenings, I'm now addicted, just great!... May 28 in Montreal, can't wait to see them live! Thx FF!! P.
Still climbing
I just finished listening to the album, and wow. It has the same unbeatable enegry and feel that their first album had, with a slightly more unified feeling across the entire set. Slightly more laided back and smooth, definately good to chill out to. I hope that they continue to evolve thier sound and play with new idea, but for now I am more than happy to have more of the awesome same. The bonus Depeche Mode cover of "Strangelove" was a special treat being a huge DM fan and I loved their take on it.
Excellent.
It feels a bit more affected by Latin music. As always, awesome music and outstanding in its genre -- not much out there that sounds like FF.
Favourite? Live those days tonight, and especially the title track, Pala. Love that guitar that plucks at us throughout.
