Oh my.. I love this very very much….

Fucked Up have released the first video from their new album David Comes To Life. Directed by Scott Cudmore, ‘Queen Of Hearts’ is a spectacular reimagining of the song, shot on film in a remote schoolhouse in northern Ontario.

Following the critical success of their second album Pala, Friendly Fires unleash brand new single ‘Hawaiian Air’. Produced by Friendly Fires and recorded in the band’s own St Albans studio, ‘Hawaiian Air’ is an undeniable album highlight and follows on from the brilliant first single‘Live Those Days Tonight’.Says frontman Ed Macfarlane: “It’s about enduring a horrific flight to Hawaii. The verses are all about bad food, shit films, uncomfortable seats, and turbulence. The chorus is about smashing down on the ground and being free from the turmoil you have endured in the air. You walk off the plane and breath in the Hawaiian Air and the painful journey has been worth it.”

Lucky little diggers across the ditch have a July tour confirmed… still we can always fly over.. just hopefully not on THIS flight!

Watch Friendly Fires perform ‘Hawaiian Air’ live for Lightbox Sessions here.

Prior to forming, both Andrew and Daniel spent several years playing, recording and touring with a number of pop heavyweights, including 50 Cent, Elton John, Pharrell Williams, Beck, Raphael Saadiq, Cee-Lo, Heavy D, Robin Thicke, amongst others.

3 tracklisting:

1. Swear

2. Heart Crimes

3. Millionairess

“Plaintive vocals reminiscent of Prince, with traces of pop, funk, R&B and club-esque Balearic beats… But one thing was clear: The heartfelt, complex sound is completely cutting edge”
LA Times Magazine

“Inc. casually just hop on stage and blow everyone’s minds…They play really good songs very well…”

The FADER

“One of the most important bands of recent years”
Benji B, BBC Radio 1
