St. Albans trio Friendly Fires have propelled themselves, over the course of two excellent albums and a fecund bunch of groove-inducing tunes, into that mystical golden zone that unites leftfield and mainstream, loose-cannon electronica and straight-up pop, sweaty dancefloor and pub jukebox. The band's self-titled 2008 debut album generated enough interest to pick up a Mercury Prize nomination, as the world woke up to the astral escapism of "Jump in the Pool" (their first hit), the big-dreaming charm of "Paris" and the rocked-up funk of "In the Hospital". It was like filtering the '80s through two decades of Ibiza: their sound retained the crispness of the new, and was fleshed out in impressive style on fizzing follow-up album Pala (2011) which boasts too many highlights to mention — we'd pick out "Hawaiian Air" and "Blue Cassette" as the ideal means to get acquainted.

Stunning tunes
Friendly Fires are one of those bands that sound like they have been around for a long time. Their songs have incredible depth and emotion. White Diamonds will always be a floor filler and Paris will be a classic in the years to come. A truly great British band!
