Friendly Fires have released the second track featured on their new vinyl single called 'Velo'.

UK trio FRIENDLY FIRES have released the second track featured on their new vinyl release 'Before Your Eyes'. Only a few weeks ago the boys ended their two year absence by releasing the title track on SoundCloud.

This followed a remix of their track 'Hurting' as well as a vocal collaboration with DISCLOSURE but now we have a new offering to enjoy.

'Before Your Eyes' and 'Velo' were recorded collaboratively between FRIENDLY FIRES and British electronic duo THE ASPHODELLS. The former was a seven-minute psychedelia trip that has wonderfully distorted vocals from FRIENDLY FIRES' Ed Macfarlane echoing throughout. The latter has a slightly different feel to it as it reaches back into the band's signature territory whilst also incorporating a few more far-out elements.
