NEWS: Friendly Fires Begin Work On Third Album

Friendly Fires have started work on their third album with the band locking themselves in a remote cabin in Sweden to get inspiration.

Speaking to 6Music, guitarist Edd Gibson said, "We're off for ten days just to be away from everything and do the exploratory music making, we will see how it goes".

Singer Ed Macfarlane also explained why the indie group chose a remote cabin in Sweden.

"We tend to write quite good music in quite secluded, quite bleak places, in minus 25 degrees weather, Sweden, log cabin, pretty bleak. I kind of like the idea that we will spend enough time together that we'll either come out of the end of it absolutely hating each other or come back with something that's completely different from anything we've done before".

"I think we are trying to force on an element of the film The Shining, or the book The Shining, as a cultured gentleman who reads and doesn't just watch films...We're trying to alienate ourselves into a world of music alone and see what we come up with".
