A lot of things — good things, strange things, weird things — have been written about Friendly Fires’ April single “Love Like Waves.” But as we sit here having witnessed Solo: A Star Wars Story over the holiday weekend, we can’t help but think this fresh new track would be perfect performed live in the club-like lounge of Dryden Vos’ ship. If that visual doesn’t propel you into “press-play” action, then let the single’s new Giorgio Testi-directed video seal the deal. Ed Macfarlane, Edd Gibson and Jack Savage went off to Italy to capture some proper summer time vibes in line with the vibrant electronic-pop tone of “Love Like Waves,” and it certainly looks like a better time than getting left behind on Vandor. Let the new Friendly Fires sonically cascade over your heart, and peep their Euro tour dates below.
