Today, Friendly Fires return with brand new single "Love Like Waves", which is lifted from their (as yet untitled) third album. The new cut was produced and mixed by Mark Ralph, and it marks a stunning return for the UK trio of Ed Macfarlane, Edd Gibson and Jack Savidge following a five year hiatus from recorded music.
It's both a timely reminder of Friendly Fires' undeniable past successes and a tantalising taste of an even brighter future, it’s set to herald a fresh new era for the band, who have so far released two full length LPs - their eponymous, Mercury Prize-nominated 2008 self-titled debut and its 2011 follow up "Pala" - to widespread acclaim.
