FRIENDLY FIRES "pala" cd,2011. #6 UK
second album from these 1980s retro sounding guys from St.Albans,Hertfordshire,UK.
very Level42 and slight Duran Duran images going on here in the music/lyrics...
not much to say pther than good catchy beats and hooks from these guys, shame the singles track1 and track4 didnt really do as well as the album in the charts by only reaching #80 and #92 respectively...
also, my score is exactly the same as that of the allmusic pro's...very unusual to be in sync with them!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
