Friendly Fires songs are all manufactured to a similar formula but there's a whole lab shelf lined with addictive variants.
-
Assured, short and ultimately sweet, Friendly Fires is a glib reminder that you don't need an M6 underpass, New York penthouse or guestlist to have an all night disco party, and remind us there's no shame in getting your groove on.
-
When the results are as fun as this album is at its best, it's hard to slam them too much for being derivative; better just to enjoy Friendly Fires as fleeting fun.
