Friendly Fires have discussed their latest album ‘Pala’, claiming that the record is a "progression, not a departure" from their critically-acclaimed self titled debut.
In an interview with NME before their performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend on Saturday (May 14th), the band stated that they intended for their second record to built on the success of their first, rather than creating something entirely different.
Speaking to the magazine, guitarist Edd Gibson said: "We just took stock of our first record. We realised we're trying to push our new music in the same direction as the stuff at the end of our last album like 'Jump in the Pool' and 'Kiss of Life'. It was definitely a natural progression, rather than a deliberate departure."
Jack Savidge also commented, stating that one of the band’s main intentions with their second album was to "keep things tasteful". He said: "I don't think we'll be doing a collaboration with The Black Eyed Peas any time soon anyway. We'd like to keep things tasteful."
‘Pala’ was released across Europe (including the UK) this morning (May 16th), and is scheduled to be released in the United States on Monday, May 23rd.
